Description

Context Sant Feliu de Llobregat is home to a family-run equestrian center offering riding lessons and guided horse trails through the Natural Park of the Sierra de Collserola, just 10 km from Barcelona. This protected landscape features quiet forest paths and scenic views, where the air carries the fresh scent of the Mediterranean woodland.

The Experience You begin by preparing the horse—learning how to brush it and fit the saddle and bridle. Then, in small, level-appropriate groups, you practice basic riding techniques on a secure, enclosed arena. Finally, you enjoy a 1- to 2-hour guided trail ride through natural paths, surrounded by bird songs and the steady rhythm of the horse’s gait, putting your skills into practice in a real-world environment.

For Whom Perfect for children from age 5, absolute beginners, and adults looking to start or improve their riding skills close to Barcelona. Not suitable for those seeking only leisurely rides without instruction, or for individuals with a strong fear of horses.

Local Context Hípica Can Rafael has a long-standing family tradition in equestrian education, emphasizing respect for animals and the natural environment. Its proximity to Collserola offers direct access to nature and the local Catalan culture, making it a peaceful retreat just minutes from the city.
