SIGHTSCAPES - A Visual approach to 3 Landscape Architecture Projects
- Font del Racó Park
- Observing the skyline
- Can Borni Old Nursery
Come join us in a mountain hike within the mediterranean forest of Collserola, to
experience the best views of Barcelona and its green infrastructure!
We will meet at the Funicular of Barcelona, where we will visit el Parc de la Font del Racó,
designed by Rubió i Tudurí, one of the most important landscape architects in Spain. After
this visit, we will take the cable car up to Tibidabo, the highest peak of Collserola.
Once up there, we will explain you the most important green areas in the city and the
coast. After, we will walk alongside Carretera de les Aigües, a path that allows you to walk
above Barcelona. We will visit Jardins de Can Borni, a peaceful garden also designed by
Rubió i Tudurí.
In this visit we will get to know and understand the mountain range of Collserola and the
structure of Barcelona. It requires comfortable clothing and shoes, since the estimated
walking time in total is of approximately 1 hour. Totally worth it to get the best views of the
city!
Meeting point: Pl Kennedy (Av Tibidabo Metro Station L7) at 10:00 am
Duration: from 10:00 am to 12:30
