Located northeast of the town of Ripollet. The street immediately adjacent to the town usually has plenty of parking space. Several trails descend to the place. Another good place to park is on the tracks near the Ecoparc (the garbage dump, a good spot for observing seagulls and kravja čaplja). You can do different circular tours as there are a good number of roads and trails. Recommended on foot or by bicycle. The suggested route on the Birdingplaces-map below is about 6 km.
