Barcelona asks the Government to start the reopening of Collserola via the Aigües road

Barcelona's city council is urging the regional government to begin reopening Collserola, specifically the Carretera de las Aigües, which has been closed due to African swine fever. The closure, implemented in March 2026, has caused significant public discontent. Albert Batlle, the city's deputy mayor for security, acknowledged the community's frustrations and indicated that a proposal for gradual reopening is being prepared. Local residents have actively protested for access to the park, which they view as essential to their community. The council aims to initiate the reopening process by the end of the year.
