Horseback Riding Tour with Farm Visit and Local Food Tasting in Garrotxa

Context La Vall d'en Bas, located in the volcanic region of Garrotxa (Girona), offers a natural landscape shaped by gentle hills, fertile soil, and dense forests. The horseback trail winds through these scenic paths, with an average elevation below 500 meters, making it ideal for peaceful rides during spring, summer, and autumn. The air carries the fresh scent of damp earth and moss, especially after rainfall.

The Experience You begin with a warm welcome at the eQuillet farm, where you’ll meet horses and ponies trained for relaxed, guided rides. You’ll mount up and ride along natural trails through woodlands and volcanic terrain, listening to the steady, calm rhythm of hooves on soft earth. After the ride, visit the farm to interact with goats, sheep, and donkeys. The experience concludes with a meal or tasting of regional sausages on a covered terrace offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

For Whom This activity is suitable for beginners and families with children as young as 3 years old (on specially adapted ponies). It’s ideal for those seeking a calm, low-impact outdoor experience with direct contact with nature and authentic local cuisine.
