1. Collserola Natural Park<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We open this list of the best places to run in Barcelona with the largest green lung in Barcelona: the Collserola Natural Park<\/strong>. With an area of more than 10,000 hectares and located between the Bes\u00f2s and Llobregat rivers, this paradise for sports fans is just 15 minutes away from the center of Barcelona and is considered one of the largest urban parks in Europe. In 2010, it was elevated to the Natural Park category and today it is one of the most recommended places to enjoy a nice run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its many trails are dotted with farmhouses, fountains and hermitages, as well as some interesting monuments. Among them, it is worth mentioning the Collserola tower<\/strong>, designed by Norman Foster on the occasion of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, or the Tibidabo<\/strong><\/a> Amusement Park, located on the homonymous mountain. This mountain is 512 m high, making it the roof of the Catalan capital. In addition, we should not forget that this peaceful haven offers exceptional views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get to Collserola, you can take the L7 of the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) to the Avinguda Tibidabo<\/strong> station and, after walking up this avenue, take the funicular to Tibidabo. Another option is to choose the S1 or S2 lines of these trains to the Baixador de Vallvidrera<\/strong> stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Carretera de les Aig\u00fces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gateway to Collserola, the Carretera de les Aig\u00fces road could be on the list of the best viewpoints in Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>, thanks to the spectacular views over the Barcelona skyline and the Mediterranean. This artery has a total length of approximately 20 km, which begins on the road of the Arrabassada and ends in Pla\u00e7a de Mireia<\/strong>, in the municipality of Esplugues de Llobregat. The origin of its name has to do with the history of the place, since there was a water distribution pipe in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get to Carretera de les Aig\u00fces by train, get off at the Peu del Funicular<\/strong> stop (lines S1 or S2 of the FGC) and, from there, take the Vallvidrera funicular to the Carretera de les Aig\u00fces stop (if you use an integrated transport title, you will not have to pay twice). If you travel by car, go on the BV-1465, road from Sarri\u00e0 to Vallvidrera \u2013 for about 2.5 km from the B-20 round \u2013 until you find the overpass of the metal walkway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Montju\u00efc mountain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Together with Tibidabo, Montju\u00efc \u2013 whose name means \u2018mount of the Jews\u2019, due to the presence of an old Hebrew cemetery in the area \u2013 is one of the two most iconic mountains in Barcelona. Located at 173 m above sea level, Montjuic offers a panoramic postcard of Collserola, the port and the city. Among its best points of observation, it is convenient to refer to the castle of Montju\u00efc and the Migdia viewpoint<\/strong>, separated from Avinguda<\/strong> Paral\u00b7lel<\/strong><\/a> by a slope of 200 m. In addition, during your session you will also encounter stairs \u2013 ideal for your GAP routine \u2013 and places to sit and rest, such as the Moss\u00e8n Costa i Llobera gardens or the botanical garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To reach Pla\u00e7a de Espanya by public transport, you can take the underground lines L1 and L3<\/strong>, as well as the L8 of FGC<\/strong> and get off at the stop of the same name. You can start your running session from there, running along Maria Cristina Avenue, or take the 150-line bus<\/strong>, which will take you to the Olympic ring area. In addition, there are many buses that lead to Pla\u00e7a Espanya (check the website I want to go from TMB to know more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Guinard\u00f3 Park<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the best places to run in Barcelona, this is one of the least crowded and most spectacular. Framed in the district of <\/strong>Horta-Guinard\u00f3<\/strong><\/a>, this green space in the Catalan capital has a great route of about 7 km by the so-called Tres Turons (\u2018three hills\u2019): Carmel, Rovira and Creueta del Coll. Although the level of difficulty is medium-high, we assure you it is worth it. Start your running at Pla\u00e7a Sanllehy and take Carrer Ramiro de Maeztu, which later becomes Carretera del Carmel. Here is where the ascension begins! You will pass in front of the facilities of the Club Nataci\u00f3 Catalunya, one of the entrances of Park G\u00fcell, the Creueta del Coll and the Tur\u00f3 de la Rovira, where anti-aircraft batteries from the Civil War are still preserved. Finally, go down the Guinard\u00f3 park and \u2026 enjoy the scenery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get to pla\u00e7a Sanllehy, choose between bus lines 24, D40 or 92<\/strong>. You can also get off at the Guinard\u00f3 metro stop | Hospital de Sant Pau (L4), although the walking distance from there is considerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Park G\u00fcell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of Gaud\u00ed\u2019s works in Barcelona<\/strong><\/a> is also runner territory. We are talking about Park G\u00fcell, an unfinished garden city that has been part of the World Heritage Site list in Barcelona<\/strong> since 1984. Built between 1900 and 1914 at the wish of the industrialist Eusebi G\u00fcell, Gaud\u00ed\u2019s great patron, was opened as a public park in 1926. Although the monumental zone \u2013 where the hypostyle hall and the well-known trencad\u00eds<\/em> salamander are located \u2013 is not free, its green space has a free access space. There are steps, viaducts and slopes waiting for you to get fit during your holidays in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get to Park G\u00fcell, take the subway to the Lesseps or Vallcarca (L3) stops<\/strong>, or the buses on lines H6 and D40. The two tour bus operators also pass by this place (although this alternative is quite expensive if what we want is to train, right?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Can Drag\u00f3 Park<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Located in the Nou Barris district, this park has 118,600 m2 of extension, which is equivalent to three blocks of houses. In addition to having various running trails, the place also has a football field, a golf course, running tracks and one of the best outdoor swimming pools in Barcelona<\/strong>. Right next door, there is a shopping and entertainment center with movie theaters, shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fastest way to get to Can Drag\u00f3 is by taking the subway to the Fabra i Puig<\/strong> (L1) stop, the Rodalies Renfe train to Sant Andreu<\/strong><\/a> Arenal or the A4, 62 or H6<\/strong> bus lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Ciutadella Park<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inspired by the Luxembourg gardens of Paris and built on an old military citadel of the 18th century<\/strong>, this park is a delight for any runner. During your tour, you will enjoy an imposing monumental fountain, a lake where you can take a boat ride, the life-size mammoth sculpture, the Parliament of Catalonia<\/strong>, a military church, the Barcelona zoo and many other claims. All this without forgetting countless plants and trees, such as Australian pine, laurel or magnolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get to the Ciutadella Park, take the metro (L1) or the Rendal Rodalies train, in both cases to the Arc de Triomf<\/strong> stop. It is also near the station of France, long-distance trains; the L4 line<\/strong> (stops of Barceloneta or Ciutadella-Vila Ol\u00edmpica) and the bus lines H4 and H16<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Joan Mir\u00f3 Park<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A total of 4.71 hectares await runners to unload adrenaline. This green space in Esquerra de l\u2019Eixample was inaugurated on May 12, 1983 on the grounds of the old slaughterhouse of Barcelona (hence for many years it was known as the park of l\u2019Escorxador, which means \u2018slaughterhouse\u2019 in Catalan). In addition to running at your leisure, you can have a drink in a pleasant outdoor bar, enjoy a book in the Joan Mir\u00f3 public library, located on a lake, or admire the \u2018Dona i ocell\u2019 sculpture, the work of the Catalan artist that gives the park its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To reach Joan Mir\u00f3 park, see point 3, on the mountain of Montju\u00efc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Section of the Bes\u00f2s river park (Ronda Verda)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This space, one of the great miracles of post-Olympic Barcelona, connects the Collserola mountain range with the seafront and is a good choice for those who wish to do sports tourism in Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>. In one of the best urban interventions in recent years, the mouth of a polluted and bland river gave way to a spectacular river park. Its 115 hectares are visited daily not only by runners looking for a low difficulty circuit, but also by cyclists and families with children. Nearby, you also visit the Can Zam and Molinet parks<\/strong>, as well as the Bes\u00f2s River Park itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is open to the public every day of the year: from March 21 to June 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from June 21 to September 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. from September 21 to December 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and from December 21 to March 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get there by subway by getting off at the stops of Artigues-Sant Adri\u00e0, L2, or La Verneda, L4<\/strong>, or with buses on lines B14, B19, B20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.
