Running BCN, April 14, 2016

Take the Ferrocarriles de Catalunya to Av. Tibidabo station. From there, always go uphill on Avendia Tibidabo to the valley station (Peu del Funicular) of the Tibidabo funicular railway. Continue up the road until the Carretera de les Aigues starts on the left. Beautiful route always with a view of the city and always at the same height until Vallvidrera.

There are several options there:

turn around, return the same way, or board the funicular at the middle station and go up to Vallvidrera, or for the very fit, run up parallel to the funicular. From Vallvidrera at the top, continue towards Tibidabo over the forepeak on which the transmitter mast stands. Beautiful view both of Barcelona and the hinterland, because the route runs exactly along the ridge. Then continue on the road past the church and down past the luxury Hotel Florida to the main road, follow it for about 400 m, then, after the bridge over the Tibidabo funicular tracks, turn left downhill towards the observatory. Just before the observatory, a small path goes right into the pine forest (signpost), which leads directly to the Carretera de les Aigues. Turn left there towards the Pla dels Maguixers parking lot, but just BEFORE crossing the Tibidabo funicular tracks again, take a small path downhill leading to the valley station of the funicular, then again through the small Parc de la Font del Bacó and the Avenida Tibidabo to Plaça Kennedy. Approx. 12.5 km
