Access

La Falconera is located just west of the village of Garraf. Parking during summer can be complicated, and perhaps the best option is to park in the port. Press a P on the map for directions. The area can be visited in 1 hour, but seawatching can be interesting and more time can be spent. In summer the area can be very hot, so better visit the site in the early morning.
