Free Walk Highlights Animal Welfare
The Barnatresc Passeig de Montjuïc will take place on Sunday 15 November 2026, offering a 12 km circular route through Montjuïc Park starting and finishing at Jardins de les Tres Xemeneies. The event, part of the annual Barnatresc series, encourages outdoor physical activity while promoting awareness of animal welfare. Participants can begin the walk between 9 am and 9.30 am, with a latest arrival time of 1 pm. The activity is free and does not require advance registration, though those wishing to take part in the full Barnatresc annual circuit must hold a Barnatresc membership card.
Dogs from Shelter Join the Route
This year’s edition will feature 12 dogs from the Barcelona Pet Shelter (CAACB), accompanied by volunteers as they walk designated sections of the route at their own pace. The initiative aims to introduce the public to animals awaiting adoption and to encourage responsible pet ownership. The presence of the CAACB dogs is intended to highlight the importance of adopting pets from shelters and to showcase the animals’ readiness for new homes.
The idea is to raise awareness about responsible adoption and introduce some of the animals from the centre that are waiting to find a new home.
How to Take Part
The walk combines sport, nature, and social commitment, inviting residents and visitors to support animal welfare through participation. No pre-registration is required for the Montjuïc event, and all are welcome to attend. Further information about the route, schedule, and Barnatresc membership is available on the official Barnatresc page on barcelona.cat.
