How can I get there?

You can access the space via different mountain trails and paths. The path used the most leaves from the urban nucleus of Olesa, from which you can head to the Salvador Boada municipal pavilion in the Les Planes neighbourhood, the starting point of a trail (best to do in a 4x4 vehicle) which goes up along the Creu de Beca valley until reaching Pla del El Fideuer plane.

This site connects with another trail which comes from the BV-1211 motorway (Olesa-Vacarisses) from the east under Pla del Mimó. Two more interconnected trails provide access to the Mas de Puigventós zone and La Gronya hill from both Olesa and the BV-1211 motorway.
