The Guilleries is one of the few places in the Catalan Mediterranean System where amphibolite facies conditions are found.^[2] The Pantà de Susqueda and Pantà de Sau reservoirs, of great importance for Barcelona metropolitan water supply, are located in the Guilleries area.

These mountains were notorious in former times for being a haunt of bandits and highwaymen.^[3]
