After Andorra, while returning from the Pyrenees to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwe decided to make the long road, avoiding what I believe is the longest tunnel in Spain (del Cadi, 5.6 miles below the mountain), and go through a couple of places that seemed interesting: the birth of the Llobregat and Artigas Gardens. This post is about the former.
The Llobregat is one of those rivers that the move is to go through it. Sometimes even more than once. Born in the Pyrenees, zigzags half of Catalonia and empties into the Mediterranean, a few miles south of the city of Barcelona. On the banks of the river were settled at the time Many factories, especially textiles, which formed the Catalan industrial revolution which, although early English level, seems to me late at European level.
drove then, if I remember correctly, the Collada de Coughlin, a difficult road with many curves, ideal for riding a motorcycle but not by car. Here I leave a couple of photos of the road, which was generally very green, but these photos from the top do not show it:
We then Castellar n'Hug. We left the car in the village and started down stairs and more stairs. Actually it was a parking lot next to our destination, but did not know. With 37 degrees and at noon, climbing hundreds of steps back was quite an experience.
As the Ebro, Llobregat born into a mountain with a waterfall that is worth knowing:
The water was freezing, so I went, but with heat and thirst they gave win.
buy water to prepare for our return, and we almost crawling up the whole mountain and retrieve the car. Our next destination was the Artigas Gardens, designed by one Antoni Gaudi, architect also of the Parc Güell and the Sagrada Familia.
