One, at Santa Creu d\u2019Olorda, can be reached by foot if you\u2019re not adverse to an energetic walk. The other, at Torrent de Can Coll, is easier to access since you can get there with your own transport. The park is easily reachable from the centre of the city by the FGC trainline, which runs from Pla\u00e7a de Catalunya up through Gracia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El_Merendero\"><\/span><strong>El Merendero<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 15 minutes by train from Pla\u00e7a de Catalunya, <\/span><strong>El Merendero<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a picnic spot within Collserola Park. Here you can rent seats, <strong>barbecue<\/strong> grills and all other equipment you\u2019ll need for a few euros per hour \u2013 all you need to do is bring the food. There is also a bar for when your beer inevitably runs out before the sausages are done. The only downside to this place is how busy it gets in the summer months \u2013 not a rural, secluded experience but a <strong>fun fiesta-style<\/strong> one nonetheless. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blancher\"><\/span><strong>Blancher<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the <\/span><strong>Blancher vineyard<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there is a dedicated <strong>barbecue<\/strong> area for customers to enjoy.
