Important Things to Know Before Visiting
| One slight negative is that the detailed information boards about the history of the quarry and the craft of stonemasonry are only in Catalan and Spanish. Fine if you can understand either language, but not so good for English speakers and others. Hopefully this will be improved in future.
| There are colourful symbols in operation to guide you around the gardens and the quarry site; the main thing to note is that the ‘red hand’ symbol means pay attention and don’t go beyond that point. It’s also forbidden to climb on or over any walls of the maze or part of the quarry.
| Drone photography is expressly forbidden inside and outside the site – please respect this rule (and your fellow visitors) at all times. Heavy fines are given in the event of breaches.
| The maze is very manageable, but a fun experience for kids and adults.
| To capture the best photos of someone in it, one person should stay up at the various viewing points by the entrance. Due to the depth of the quarry and changing time of sunrise/set, the time of day you visit makes quite a difference to the photography options available to you. For example, whilst golden hour provides the best light, the maze itself requires the sun to be high in the sky to become illuminated.
| Don’t pick any flowers, leaves, or fruits.
| The Pedreres de s’Hostal quarry and gardens are also a venue for summer events and live performances (dance, music, theatre), which make the most of the unique acoustics and setting. It’s definitely worth taking a look at their website for your dates to see if tickets are available for something interesting.
