It begins in Sant Feliu de Llobregat and goes through the Sierra de Collserola Natural Park. The route runs between track and small trails Medium qualification route since although it does not have a great difference in level, it is a continuous up and down. The route is very well signposted by green plates, both the half Marathon and the Marathon Start and finish at the Horta Velodrome.Show more

We move with the car through the Ronda de Dalt, we leave it at the exit of Horta to follow the BV-1415 road with signs to the Collserola cemetery. Just when you cross the Ventosa pass with the car, you will observe the change of vegetation between one slope and the other. The part of Barcelona is much drier while on the slope that faces the Vallés the vegetation is much more lush. The Romanesque church of Sant Iscle de les Feixes We take the path that goes to the church of Sant Iscle de les Feixes. It is a kind and fairly wide forest track The path descends gradually and goes into the forest. The Sant Iscle torrent hardly makes an appearance but its consequences are clearly visible due to the thick vegetation that we find next to the path. After a couple of kilometers approximately, we arrive at the church that presides over the valley. Sant Iscle de les Feixes is a 12th century Romanesque church and is protected as a cultural asset of local interest. The same PR-35 makes an ascent parallel to the road just without touching it. To do this, you must enter the premises of a residence called Torre Bertran. If you do it in the dark or on a stormy day this place can give you a good scare. Its silhouette, its half-neglect, transports us to a novel by Stephen King and it is surprising to see how well cared for the gardens and adjacent areas are compared to the building. After leaving the Torre Bertran again we go into the forest where a small path follows the parallel of the road without hardly seeing it or hearing cars. A few minutes later the path leads to the same road with the Ventosa pass visible before us.Show more
