The Experience: You’ll ride on gentle horses along low-difficulty trails, guided by experienced staff who speak Spanish, English, or German. The soft trot of the horses over natural ground is accompanied by the sounds of local wildlife. During the ride, you’ll visit three Romanesque hermitages and enjoy sweeping views of the mountain massif, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Pyrenees. At the end of the ride, you can relax at an equestrian ranch surrounded by nature.

For Whom: Ideal for beginners and those with no prior horseback riding experience, ages 14 and up, seeking a light physical activity in nature with cultural immersion. Not suitable for children or individuals with severe allergies to animals.

Local Context: The region blends deep religious tradition with Mediterranean nature. The Romanesque hermitages reflect centuries of history, while the equestrian ranch preserves the lasting bond between people and horses in this Catalan region.
