Turó de la Magarola, Summit in the Serra de Collserola, Spain

Turó de la Magarola is a 430-metre summit in the Serra de Collserola, at the point where the municipal boundaries of Barcelona, Cerdanyola del Vallès and Sant Cugat del Vallès meet. A geodetic vertex marks the top, where a wooden platform with information panels was built for bird-migration observers.

The name Magarola is documented in 985 as "Magerova" or "Magarova", referring to another place near Sant Cugat del Vallès. A Barcelona bourgeois family later adopted the name and applied it to several sites they owned, beginning with the Magarola palace on Carrer Portaferrissa. The hill itself is included in the FEEC's list of 100 summits as Turó de Magarola.

Since 1988, volunteers have recorded the autumn raptor migration here in September and October from a wooden platform with information panels built at the summit. The most frequently counted species is the European honey buzzard, followed by the common kestrel and the western marsh harrier.

Hikers can reach the summit through various trails, including the long-distance GR 92 and GR 6 paths that connect to other peaks in the region. The routes are well marked, though sturdy footwear is advisable due to uneven ground.

The site functions as a monitoring station for bird migration, recording thousands of passing raptors annually during their journey. This makes it a valuable location for tracking bird movement patterns and population trends scientifically.
