Other places of interest

In addition to the Modernist buildings, there are some other points of architectural, social or historical interest in the village.

The old train station stands in the town’s sports complex. The old tracks of the ‘Carrilet’ (a train that ran in Les Planes from 1900 to 1969) have become the Via Verda, which is very popular for cycling and walking.

The oldest civil building in Les Planes is Mas el Jonquer, which survived the earthquake of 1428 and gives its name to the neighbourhood that borders it which began to be built in the 1960s. Maria de Jonquers (1441-1506) also lived in this farmhouse: she was kidnapped by Alfonso of Aragón, with whom she had two children recognised by King Juan II. The town library bears her name.

El barri Joan Vidal (popularment conegut com «cases barates») va ser projectat el 1955 per aquest arquitecte, i és conformat per 100 vivendes adossades i enjardinades. El barri és un exemple de ciutat-jardí destinat a la classe obrera, totes elles alineades, compartint certa uniformitat i espais enjardinats comuns com la plaça de Sant Cristòfol. Les reformes posteriors que els propietaris hi han fet dificulta destacar-ne la coherència estètica primigènia.
