HIKE INFORMATION

Collserola Park extends over 8,000 hectares of protected land spanning a chain of small mountains (Serra de Collserola) between the Besòs and Llobregat rivers. Collserola is the largest metropolitan park in the world, 8 times larger than the Bois de Boulogne in Paris and 22 times larger than Central Park in New York. The park’s forests of white pines and evergreen oaks are home to a wide variety of bird species, as well as mammals such as wild boar and genets.

Collserola has a large number of farmhouses that used to be dedicated to agriculture. During the walk, we will visit some of these agroforestry landscapes. One example is the 16th-century farmhouse of Can Busquets.

Hike is not mandatory. We recommend bringing hiking boots or similar.
