THINGS TO DO
🌿 Local Gem: Hike to Salt d’aigua de la Rierada
Just a short trip from here lies the Salt d’aigua de la Rierada, a stunning waterfall hidden within the lush forests of the Collserola Natural Park. This easy, family-friendly trail takes you along the Riera de Vallvidrera, the only permanent watercourse in the park, offering a cool, shaded path lined with vibrant vegetation and riparian trees. The route leads you to a historic 19th-century weir that cascades into a beautiful 5-meter waterfall—a perfect spot for a peaceful picnic or a meditative break. It is a magical corner of the forest that feels miles away from the city bustle, yet is right on our doorstep.
⛰️ Day Trip: Parc Natural de la Muntanya de Montserrat
For an unforgettable day, visit Montserrat, Catalonia’s iconic "serrated" mountain just an hour away. You can explore the famous monastery and hear the boys' choir, or take the funicular up for spectacular hiking. I highly recommend the easy walk to Sant Miquel’s Cross for the best panoramic views of the valley—it is a perfect blend of culture and nature.
🚆 Day Trip: Barcelona City Center
Exploring Barcelona is effortless from here. Simply catch the FGC train (S1 or S2) from La Floresta station, and you’ll arrive at Plaça Catalunya in under 20 minutes—often faster than crossing the city itself! You will be dropped right in the center, steps away from Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, and Gaudí’s famous architecture.
💡 Quick Tip: La Floresta is included in Zone 1. Buy a "T-casual" (1 Zone) card at the station for the cheapest fare (10 trips included).
