Sarrià · Barcelona

Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta

A wood inside the city, right against Collserola.

It is a large wooded space connecting Barcelona with the Collserola range. Its 17 hectares are the sum of two rural estates and the remains of a castle, the Oreneta, which gives the park its name.

Pines, holm oaks and carob trees grow in abundance. Work by the city has improved the network of paths and added resting areas, terraces and viewpoints. Next to the park are the public swimming pools of Can Caralleu.
