ROUTE » The route starts and ends at the entrance to the Mas Oliva residential estate. The first section follows Carrer Oslo, parallel to the Ginjolers stream, the most important of Roses’s waterways.
The route goes on past the paved road through fields with rows of olives that yield exquisite oil thanks to the mild climate and fertile soil.
Mas de l’Alzeda, which is still inhabited, dominates the landscape at the end of the valley.
At the first intersection you find, if you take the path to the right you will reach the centuries-old Roses Olive Tree, a tree whose massive trunk is proof of its solemnity and persistence throughout the years. The route, from the point where you turned off and back, can take you approximately 30 minutes.
Farther ahead, just 200 metres in a straight line from the first crossing, you will come to a second crossing, where you can also choose to take the path that branches off to the right, leading to another tree that is of local interest: the Pi d’en Rahola, a pine tree that also impresses with its massive size and height.
Once back on the route, following the markings, the path crosses through olive groves which reveal the importance of this crop in the past, which has become one of the most significant elements of Roses’s natural, cultural and social heritage.
The path leads back to the paved road and the starting point of your trek.
