Collserola Natural Park

The Serra de Collserola massif rises up over Barcelona Metropolitan Area, almost touching the city, a much-loved and immensely valuable natural area and great privilege for the huge population that lives around these mountains to enjoy. Collserola is a well-preserved, 8,000-hectare natural area in which you’ll find forest, plants, flowers and wild animals. 

Collserola is also a place for discovery and learning, a place for meeting and for leisure. The final goal is to promote environmentally-friendly and sustainable use of the reserve whilst also conserving the natural heritage it contains.

Since 1987, Collserola has been managed under a special protection plan, and the environmental objectives and concerns behind this plan were recently reinforced when the area was given the status of a Natural Park.

If you want to have some rest from the city, you should visit Collserola. Moreover, it provides amazing views! Do you want to take a picture WITH the city? Go to Collserola.

Ciutadella Park

La Ciutadella is a park situated in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona. It was created in the mid 19th century, and it has always been the city’s only green space. The 70 acres (280,000 m2) grounds include the city zoo (once home to the albino gorilla Floquet de neu (Snowflake), who died in 2004), the Parliament of Catalonia, a small lake, museums, and a large fountain.

The main attraction is the zoo. This is due to out of the 7,000 animals present. 

One half of the park's paths are sinuous and more natural-looking, and the other half ordered and parallel. Along both, huge a variety of vegetation is displayed.

Let’s have a look on the park and its parts:

CITADEL

The citadel was built in order to maintain control over the city and to prevent Catalans from rebelling. This was during the kingdom of Phillip V of Spain.

CASCADA (WATERFALL)

It is located at the northern corner of the park opposite to the lake. It was inaugurated in 1881.

LAKE

It is a scenery enjoyable most of all for romantics. Here you can find turtles on rocks, and fishes dashing through the water.

BANDSTAND

The park’s bandstand is named Glorieta de la Transsexual Sònia. It is dedicated to a transsexual named Sonia, who was murdered there on 6th October 1991.
