• A scenic lookout, not a playground — open views over the city, the sea and the Llobregat delta from the quiet southern edge of Collserola
• On the flat Carretera de les Aigües, an easy, stroller- and bike-friendly path rather than an uphill hike
• A local sunset favorite — west-facing and shaded by cypress trees, with a bench to stop and a drinking fountain along the path

Mirador dels Xiprers is a peaceful viewpoint tucked into the southern edge of the Collserola hills, beneath Sant Pere Màrtir, framed by the cypress trees that give the spot its name. It is well off the tourist trail, busiest with joggers and families at weekends. There is no playground or kiosk: it is a place to walk, sit and take in the horizon, with room for kids to roam.
