Santa Coloma de Gramenet is a city within the metropolitan area of Barcelona, in Catalonia. On the banks of the River Besòs, this pleasant city has plenty to offer those who visit. Are you in for one of our cheap trips to Santa Coloma de Gramenet?
If the city stands out for one reason, it’s the urban parks. One of them is the Besòs River Park, on the banks of the river. Its ecosystem enjoys a rich biodiversity where you’ll find amphibians and birds of all kinds. There’s also a bike path that’s 7.5 miles long, ideal for a day of outdoor activity.
This bike path connects with Can Zam Park, a real green lung for the city that spans some 27 acres. Enjoy sports, go for a picnic, gaze at the lake or simply lie down on the grass. This park, along with the previous one, is testament to the tenacity of the locals, who fought hard to renovate the area to make sure it could be used by locals and visitors alike.
In fact, Santa Coloma is very committed to the cause, and that's why there’s the Ecometrópoli environmental education centre, an institution that is dedicated to sharing knowledge and promoting the values of protection of nature and urban sustainability. Don’t miss their permanent exhibition dedicated to the local ecosystems or the aquarium with fish from the River Besòs.
The ecosystem par excellence of the city is the Serra de la Marina, a mountain range that covers more than 4,900 acres. This space is of great ecological interest with a valuable landscape, where you can enjoy hiking and really disconnect from the world.
