Highlights / General details

Although it seems impossible to practice horse riding in the crowded cities around Barcelona, a few minutes away from the city you will find a place where it is a real pleasure to mount a horse. Wear your boots and put your pants on! Ride in a Natural Park and find a diverse mix of beautiful forest, green pine groves and impressive mountains. Discover these breathtaking Catalonian landscapes on horseback and enjoy a morning involved in Nature and horses. As well as enjoying your horseback excursion, you will have time to build a relationship with the horse allocated to you. We pride ourselves on giving guests time to get to know their horses, learning and enjoying how to communicate with them. This is the perfect experience for nature-lovers looking for an escape from the city.

Tour leaves Barcelona at 9:00h in a 4wheel drive car with full air conditioning, and heads straight up to the small beautiful village in the middle of the forest, where the Equestrian Center is located. Prepare the horses and get ready for a technical explanation and a ride in the horse arena. Afterwards, visit the natural park on horseback, where you will have time to explore our countryside, surrounded by pines and tweeting wild birds. Uncover the stunning secrets hidden in the depths of the forest, and let your camera create images that will make postcards envious. After the 1,5h adventure in the forest, the morning finishes with a nutritious snack in the ranch and the opportunity to learn how to take care of the horses after the energetic walk. We return to Barcelona, arriving at 13:30h or 14:00h.
