Tree Walks in Barcelona
Barcelona has 8 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 0.4 km to 3.01 km, past 45 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.
The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.
