Tips from the Community
This is a bridge where you have to be especially careful when going up and down
0

It is located on the slopes of the Collserola hills and is considered the lung of Barcelona due to its dense forests. This affluent neighborhood enjoys an excellent view of the city, so much so that from certain specific points on a clear day, it is possible to see Mallorca and the Pyrenees. Despite being a residential area, the neighborhood contains interesting places such as the Torre de Collserola (a communication tower designed by architect Norman Foster), the Tibidabo amusement park, and the Sagrat Cor. In the past, Vallvidrera was a place where the wealthy of Barcelona had their summer homes due to the cool climate. Today, however, people live there and have their summer retreats in other places such as the Costa Brava (for summer holidays) or Puigcerdà (for winter holidays). Vallvidrera is accessible by the Vallvidrera funicular, which connects its lower station to the Metro del Vallès suburban railway with frequent services to the city center.

Exceptional view worth the cost of the cable car ticket, but if you also want to go to the playground, the funicular cost will be completely discounted from the park's price.

Although legend has it that this bridge was built by the devil, tricked by an old woman from the village he had to cross daily, it is actually of Roman origin and was part of the Via Augusta. It was designed for ox-drawn carts to pass. It still retains the abutments built in large ashlar blocks bearing inscriptions from the legions that worked on it. A flood swept away the central pillar, and it was rebuilt in 1143 with a single Gothic-style arch. However, the current bridge is a reconstruction from the 1960s. Until the 14th century, it was the only viaduct crossing the lower Llobregat.
