10 of the world’s quietest places for a dose of calm - SilverKris
"A predominantly forested, 15,000‑hectare park north of Barcelona made up largely of cork oaks and stone pines that naturally muffle sound, this area was designated as Spain’s first Urban Quiet Park and offers extensive hiking options. Trails range from an easy 2.1‑kilometre Les Planes del Corredor circular route with mountain views to the more demanding 9.8‑kilometre Can Bosch path lined with ancient fountains and medieval ruins, and the abundant tree cover produces a notably hushed atmosphere punctuated only by wildlife. It’s an excellent destination for forest bathing and long, quiet walks away from coastal city noise." - Tamara HinsonandErica Fong
