The relief of the Sant Feliu municipality is defined by the left bank of the Llobregat river and the first elevations of the Collserola mountain range.
Several streams run through the municipality that channel the waters of the nearby mountains towards the Llobregat river. The urban center stands 22 meters above sea level. The altitude oscillates between 424 meters (Puig d’Olorda) and 10 meters on the banks of the Llobregat.
The river crosses the Litoral mountain range, alternating industrial exploitation in the gorges with agriculture in the plains.
The Parc Agrari tries to ensure the subsistence of the rural environment in an area with high urban pressure, as can be seen in this video in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia with the river flowing down next to the highway.
The Llobregat flows into a swampy delta. In this area there are numerous towns that in their time were essentially agricultural and that include Llobregat in their name, such as Sant Feliu.
In the Baix Llobregat region, a space with a markedly agricultural character, since 1998 the Parc Agrari has been consolidated as “a territorial project based on the importance of maintaining agricultural activity, generating economic activity in the urban area and the backbone of the fabric of cities and infrastructures that surround it”.
We can follow the course of the river completing a route that will lead us to discover a landscape that combines the natural and urban environment. But, between the vegetation, on the one hand, and the buildings and cars, on the other, the aquatic birds will take us back to the friendliest and most natural part of the Llobregat,
