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.
