The holm oak is one of the most emblematic native trees, the main part of the Mediterranean forests. It is one of the most common trees in the forests of Collserola. It is rarely possible to see specimens of holm oaks lined up, all with almost identical port. In the Labyrinth, they also model an extremely elegant promenade, closed in itself by the high dome drawn by the branches. With the trunk dressed up to half the height of the ivy and with a trimmed vegetable fence that delimits the set, there is no other grove so rich in dark tones and shades of filtered light.
