Itinerary description
Villa Joana was the final home of the writer Jacint Verdaguer. He fell ill and died here on 10th June 1902. On that day, the house became a memorial space for the poet. In 1963, some rooms were turned into the first museum dedicated to him. Today, Villa Joana acts both as a memorial and as a museum house of literature.
This short walk can be considered a good half day activity that includes a visit to Tibidabo because the route finishes in Tibidabo.
To Vila Joana opening hours, rural restaurant recommendations and FGC train maps visit the Barcelona Travel Hacks website.
The Vila Joana hiking route route is part of the Collserola Natural Park collection.
