In this area you have a romantic chapel, a restaurant and a picknick area.

The chapel is only open on Saturdays from 11 to 13 o'clock. The restaurant and picknick area are perfect for a stop when hiking through the Collserola park. The restaurant might seem a bit expensive, but for being in the middle of the park it's okay.

The central location of this site, on the western side of the Collserola Park, makes it accessible from all nearby towns: Molins de Rei, Valldoreix, Sant Feliu de Llobregat and Vallvidrera. The elements that over the centuries have shaped the physiognomy of this place - the esplanade, the sitting areas, the church, the bird quarry, the Olorda hill and the winding paths leading to the Santa Creu and Sant Feliu valleys - are an excellent setting for enjoying all kinds of leisure.

The place is a clearing in the middle of the forest from which we have a good panorama of the Sant Feliu valley and the Llobregat delta.

The toponym "Olorda" mentioned since 986, is a pre-Roman word of possible Basque origin that would mean "path of the calves". The church corresponds to the old parish of Santa Creu d'Olorda documented as early as 1032 and modified in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Santa Creu d'Olorda is a Romanesque hermitage located in the Sierra de Collserola (Catalonia), near the Puig de Olorda mountain. It belongs to the municipality of Barcelona despite being slightly away from its municipal term. Next to it runs the road from Molins de Rey to Vallvidrera (BV-1468), at kilometer 6.5, as well as the road that leads to San Feliu de Llobregat and passes next to the Sanson cement plant.
