Itinerary description
This is a beautiful 12km EASY walking route in the collserola natural park starting at La Floresta on the Valles FGC lines. The trail follows the course of the vallvidrera river from passing via a sheltered forest trail with waterfalls and variety of trees and wild flowers.
The trail gets to a village called la Rierada which has a restaurant called Can Castelvi. After Can castelvi the route enters the forest again and continues following Vallvidrera river passing by the rural Can Blanes farmhouse and ruined windmill.
Nearer to Moulins de Rei town the route passes via Can Revella farmhouse rural restarant. This is a former wine making farmhouse that has been converted into a spectacular rural restaurant.
After A hearty lunch in Can Revella the trail swings round the back of the farmhouse and parallels the town at the edge of the forest to get to the natural rock formation of fissures called las escalates.
After exploring the inside of the fissures the trail leaves the forest and enters El Papiol town passing via some historic buildings and the castle.The route terminates in El Papiol Renfe station on the R4 Roadlies Line.

Lovely trail, easy to follow directions and beautiful forest/river scenery.
Took us half a day (~5 hours) walking at a very easy pace, stopping to enjoy the sights and a great lunch at the restaurant along the way.
Easy to follow and quite enjoyable. Thank you!
Maravilloso sendero. We did it with our kids of 7 and 10 years old. Les encanta. We need to do it again and give ourselves more time to play and explore along the way. Highly recommended!
