Location: Camp Canal - Sant Esteve de Palautordera

Question 1

How do we get to Sant Esteve de Palautordera from Barcelona?

Accepted Answer

It's about 40km north, roughly 45 minutes to an hour by car depending on traffic. By train, take the Rodalies R2 from Plaça de Catalunya or Sants toward Maçanet-Massanes and get off at Sant Esteve de Palautordera station, then it's a short taxi or local bus ride to Camp Canal. Driving is easier if you have a car and kids in tow. (Confirm current transit options before publishing.)

Question 2

How long should we plan to spend if we go to one of the shows?

Accepted Answer

If you're doing just the Embamba't show, plan 2.5 to 3 hours total with arrival time and a break. If you combine the morning walk plus the 11:30 show, you're looking at a full morning, roughly 10am to 1:30pm. For the May 24 Fair, it runs all day, so you can drop in for 2-3 hours or stay longer depending on what your kids want to do.

Question 3

What should we bring?

Accepted Answer

For the walk, bring comfortable hiking shoes, a hat or umbrella, and a backpack for little ones (no strollers allowed). For the shows, bring water and snacks unless there's food available on site (confirm before publishing). Sunscreen and bug spray are smart for a forest venue in spring. Cash is probably safest, but check if the venue takes cards for tickets and food.

Question 4

Are there bathrooms at the venue?

Accepted Answer

There will be basic facilities, but expect no bathrooms along the hike.

Question 5

Which show should we pick if our kids aren't into clowns?

Accepted Answer

Skip Embamba't if clowns aren't their thing, it's built around Tortell Poltrona and other clown performers. Històries de la Petita Lu is gentler and more imaginative play than slapstick. The Passejada walk is pure nature and storytelling with no circus performance, so that's your best alternative if your kids prefer outdoor exploration to performance.
