Constructed in 1936 in homage to Guerau de Liost, pen name of Jaume Bofill i Mates. The initiative was promoted by Marià Manent and Ventura i Gassol, with the support of a large number of politicians, literati and great men from all over Catalonia. Above the spring, integrated into the beautiful surroundings and with an elegant perspective of the village, is a fine stele sculpted by Joan Rebull and, a few metres in front of it, carved into a stone, the verses that the poet dedicated to the old spring. Its structure and design are the work of Joan Mirambell, a recognised landscape gardener.

Jaume Bofill i Mates, poet, politician and journalist, is considered as one of the first orators of contemporary Catalonia. He converted Mas Rusquelles de Viladrau into a true refuge for avant-garde poets and literati.

As a politician, Jaume Bofill i Mates was the first to propose that Montseny should be declared a protected space.

As a writer, Guerau de Liost recreates the poetical images of Montseny, as “the Mountain of Amethysts” and of “the womenfolk of the water” like Paitides. Recognised as the great poet of Montseny
