Udbhav Desai
★★★★★11 months agoGot awesome runs here in the morning around sunrise. It was surprisingly desolate when I got here. It’s a great spot for dogs, runners and hikers alike. If you are a tourist like me, I recommend a run through Parc Del Guinardo. I got to see amazing vistas of the city and enjoy the sunrise in the most amazing way.

★★★★★a year agoAmazing place to go for a long walk or a nice hike. Super easy to arrive (just 30 minutes from the City Center) and I'd say that the difficulty level is about 4 on a 1 to 10 scale. I appreciated the sunset, the sky full of colours and the Tibidabo just as an astonishing background. The area seemed super safe, since mostly young people (international) gather to drink and talk. Super recommended!
