At the foot of the Collserola mountain we find this beautiful garden which is also the oldest in Barcelona. Its name comes from a fabulous plant maze, formed by trimmed cypresses, in which we can get lost and marvel at the same time!

Although it is a public park, its entrance is not free and we must pay about 2 euros to enjoy its gardens.
