La Carretera de les Aigües  <\/p>\n

is a 20km path above Barcelona, running the length of the Collserola mountain. Its name can be translated as The Path of Waters in English. Originally it was a place where all the water sources that supplied Barcelona were located. These days the path has become a paradise for hikers.\n<\/p>\n

What should you do on the Carretera de les Aigües?<\/h2>\n

Walking and races<\/h3>\n

\nYou can easily pass a lot of people jogging or walking alone or in groups. It is a place surrounded by plant life, and it is fairly exposed and flat, which makes it ideal for these activities.\n<\/p>\n

Getting around on a bicycle or electric bike<\/h3>\n

\nYou will find fewer cyclists than hikers but it is a nice idea to cycle along the path. You can get across the whole mountain in no time! If you rent a bicycle in the village there is no slope, apart from the one you go up to get there.\n<\/p>\n

Admire the view<\/h3>\n

\nThe best part for me is the view of Barcelona! If you love a beautiful panorama, this is the right place for you as you get a spectacular view from this path! You can see the sea on the horizon with the whole city at your feet, and you can easily spot the Torre Agbar<\/em>, the top of the Montjuïc<\/em>, and the famous Sagrada Familia!<\/em><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something a little quieter<\/h3>\n

\nOn the map below you can see where you should start from. It’s generally a quieter path and the views are magnificent! I am a big fan of a panoramic view, and this part of the path is my favourite!<\/p>\n

Advice for enjoying your walk<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Wear comfortable clothes and good shoes. The whole length of the path is earth so you should be well equipped.<\/li>\n
  • Walk in the morning, when the summer heat is not too stifling.<\/li>\n
  • Take sun screen and protection with you. The sun is really strong on the mountain!<\/li>\n
  • Bring a bottle of water as their aren’t too many drinking fountains along the path.<\/li>\n
  • Don’t forget your camera!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Avoid going between 1pm and 6pm as these are the hottest hours of the day.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t go during the busiest time, between 5pm and 7pm, or you run the risk of bumping into a lot of runners, walkers and cyclists.<\/li>\n
    • If you are running in winter, don’t cover up too much or you could easily get too hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How to get there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Train from Plaça Catalunya – S1 dirección Terrassa \/ S2 dirección Sabadell<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Stop Peu del Funicular<\/strong> – Then cable car towards Vallvidrera<\/strong>, stop Carretera de les Aigües.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
