EL PUIG DE LA BALMA | Lonely Birder

This original restaurant is located in the heart of the Natural Park of Sant Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac in Barcelona. It was built in the 12th century inside a large rock shelter. This is an ideal place to treat yourself to something special! In the walls of the surroundings you can see Wallcreeper and Alpine Accentor.

A daily menu is offered and it includes salad, cold meats, legumes, grilled meats (lamb and rabbit) and homemade desserts. All meals are made with local products. There is a fixed price of 28€ for adults. It may not be a daily place to go but it’s a good options for a special day.

Accommodation is also available. The rooms have a very special rustic decoration. The building was the site for a very well known spanish film called Pa Negre (Black Bread), which won several Goya Awards. If you decide to sleep there you can talk to the staff to have an early breakfast before starting your birding day. The price for B&B is 50 € per person. It’s not a cheap option but the facilities and decoration are good.

It represents the only wet evergreen protected area in almost unspoiled state The forest still holds viable populations of large and charismatic mammals, such as the Forest Elephant, Bongo, Leopard, and Yellow-backed Duiker.
