Barcelona hides a green space that breaks with the usual aesthetics of metropolitan parks. Oreneta Park stands out from the rest thanks to a unique feature: a scale model steam train that allows visitors to take a unique journey through the mountain vegetation.
Unlike other similar facilities in Cornellà or Sabadell, this railway uses authentic steam technology. It is not a simple model toy, but a system that runs along a 636-meter-long track .
A miniature engineering circuit
The route takes advantage of the rugged terrain to offer a complete experience. The train passes through three tunnels, two bridges,and a viaduct, creating the sensation of a real journey in an environment reminiscent of the tales of Lilliput.
This infrastructure allows both children and adults to enjoy a historical recreation of rail transport. The adaptation of the route to the slope of the hill is one of the biggest attractions for engineering enthusiasts and families.
Weekend schedules and prices
Those wishing to ride on these carriages should plan their visit in advance. The service will only operate on Sundays and public holidays. Opening hours to the public will be from 10:30 a. m. to 1:30 p.m.
The cost of the activity is affordable for all budgets. Each ticket will cost two euros, a perfect and inexpensive plan for a Sunday in Barcelona.
