CASTELL DE L'ORENETA PARK

Castell de l'Oreneta Park is a large wooded area that has become a connection point to the Collserola mountain chain, the forest access that penetrates the city. It was opened to the public in 1978 and conserves, almost intact, the original Mediterranean type vegetation, with species that are very characteristic of the Barcelona mountain chain.

Castell de l'Oreneta Park has one of the best miniature manned trains in Europe. It is an element that stands out in the Barcelona landscape and is one of the city's recreational and cultural attractions.

CAN SENTMENAT GARDENS

Can Sentmenat Gardens , inaugurated in 1995, belong to the house of the Marquis of Sentmenat (current headquarters of the design school EINA)Formal and in the French style, they have unquestionable testimonial value due to the fact that they have conserved their original structure and plant species.
