Hiking Activity Holiday in Barcelona, Spain
Rating (6/10)
There are numerous routes for walking enthusiasts whilst on a hiking holiday in Barcelona region, with trails suited to all levels, from relaxing to challenging. For those who want to stay on flat terrain, the city is renowned for its many parks. Parc Guell, situated north of Gracia, is filled with typical, extravagant Gaudi tiling and an enormous, curved, tiled bench. Parc Collserola is also the perfect place to do a little in-Barcelona hiking trip.
For those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of Barcelona on a hiking holiday, visitors can hike through the natural park of Montserrat (which takes between 5 to 7 hours), and is home of the most emblematic sights of Catalonia. Visitors can explore the world famous Montserrat Monastery and Basilica, adding a taste of culture and history to a day of hiking in the great outdoors. Upon reaching the highest point on the mountain at St. Jerome 1,236 metres (4,055 feet), there is a beautiful uninterrupted 360 degree view of the park stretching from the coast to the Pyrenees.
