Midweek Hikers

 Unfortunately also the most meagre harvest; the madroños on the sunny Barcelona side were small and hard, only the ones in the most sheltered spots over the ridge had madroños which were fully developed. Oh well, enough for a couple pots of jam and a flammkuchen.

An unambitious but pleasant morning stroll starting from El Papiol into the south-western part of the Collserola, checking out the Escletxes de Papiol and joining La Rierada, Collserola's only permanent watercourse. That said, it was suffering from the drought, with the stream disappearing a few hundred metres before reaching the famous little waterfall. HIKERS: PEZ K3 MIX TRANSPORT: R4 train to and from El Papiol / Molins de Rei ROUTE: Linking these two routes: https://senderismeentren.cat/2015/10/26/120/ https://senderismeentren.cat/2015/05/12/106/ HIGHLIGHTS: The town of El Papiol with its castle was surprisingly nice.  Some interesting houses on the way, one with three different dogs... A very interesting poop with a blanket of beautifully coloured fungus. PHOTOS: Montserrat from El Papiol Les Escletxes A very interesting poop La Rierada Doggy house
