Exuberant and shady corner where we will definitely forget that we are close to Barcelona. We are in one of those spaces that alone justify a trip. The stream forms a small jump thanks to an artificial lock built in the s. XIX that brought water from the stream through a pipe, which we can still see on one side of the jump, to the Can Planes mill. We can go down to the small pond that forms the caient, where, in the summer, the little ones can still take a bath. El Salt is surrounded by lush and shady vegetation, with bananas, oaks and oaks that bring freshness in the summer. It is one of the most crowded places in Collserola due to its proximity and ease of access.

Waterfall from the Collserola stream.

Hydraulic infrastructure built at the head of the Vallvidrera stream, the most important watercourse in the Collserola mountain range, collects the rains from a territory of about 135 hectares of this mountain range. The dam began to be built in 1850 with the aim of guaranteeing the water supply to the old municipality of Sarrià.
