Font de Can Llevallol

Highlight • Natural Monument

Located in an holm oak grove at the head of the Vallvidrera reservoir, presided over by a magnificent poplar and on the other side of the Can Llevallol farmhouse we find this fountain. It is protected by a house with a exposed brick vault, and has a tap to regulate the large flow offered by this 14m mine. And right here was an old bottler in the 50's. Right in front of the fountain was a rectangular tank of 5,000 liters, equipped with 4 taps. Next to it, the excess water went to a large circular tank that is still preserved, connected to a small aqueduct that crosses the torrent to carry the water to the fields of the farmhouse. In Can Llevallol there are still many glass bottles and even the small cable car, a recycled device from an old football field in Barcelona, which transported them with a cable from the fountain to the farmhouse. In 2009, the whole complex is now consolidated, including a small living area. Ten years later, some elements have been renovated, replacing the spout with the tap, which allows you to enjoy the water from this source without ending up completely soaked. In times of heavy rain, the water overflows from the very front of the spring.

Vallvidrera Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Vallvidrera reservoir was built in 1865 by the engineer Elies Rogent, to give water to the Sarria district in Barcelona. Today it is no longer used for this purpose, remaining as a leisure and enjoyment area for the people who visit it. A beautiful place highly recommended to visit.

The Grott Mine is a tunnel of almost one and a half kilometers that is located in the Sierra de Collserola. Its construction was to carry water from the Pantano de Vallvidrera to the old municipality of Sarrià.

Saint Mary of Vallvidrera

Highlight • Religious Site

You pass by on different routes, especially if you are going to visit the Vallvidrera Reservoir, the pity is that we have never found it open to visit it, but it is worth seeing from the outside, it is part of the history of this magical area of Vallvidrera.
