History

Collserola has been a stone source since medieval times and was designated a protected natural park to conserve the green belt around Barcelona.

Conservation

Urban pressure and recreational use threaten habitats; stay on trails, minimize noise, and carry out all trash to help protect sensitive plant and animal communities.

Adventure tips

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoesTrails are uneven with loose gravel and short climbs; ankle support reduces the risk of sprains.

Carry 1–1.5 L of water per personTwo hours of walking in Mediterranean terrain can be dehydrating, especially in summer.

Keep distance from wild boarIf you encounter boar, give them space and back away calmly—do not feed or approach them.

Go early or late to avoid heatMorning or late afternoon walks are cooler and increase the chance of seeing bats and active wildlife.

Recommended gear

Sturdy hiking shoes: Provide traction on gravel and protect ankles on uneven trails.
Hydration bottle (1–1.5 L): Keeps you hydrated through sun-exposed sections and climbs.
Light waterproof jacket: Protects against sudden showers and wind in exposed ridgelines.
Compact binoculars: Helps spot bats, birds, and distant viewpoints without disturbing wildlife.
