The ruins can be reached by the viaduct Can Ribes, or Rabassada, which was built between 1908 i 1909. Crossing the valley floors that are in the head of the stream Rabassada.

The power is in Ribas modernist monumental. Finished with ceramic tile in different colors. Paret frontal, about four feet high with the name and date of construction (1909), that leave the two long benches (to a close). It seems part of the gardens of the unfinished building. In the event that a hotel should be, these gardens would have formed a group with the same Restaurant-Hotel-Casino Rabassada, that was part of the close source Rabassada.
