If you are looking to escape the hustle-and-bustle of the city. If you would like to experience the quiet sound of nature. If you want to go on a fun adventure with family and friends, I have the perfect activity. Escape away to Catalonia’s countryside and enjoy the trails while riding a horse. Make plans with your partner or family, and disconnect from your weekly stress. Submerge into the landscape and let the horse lead the way.

Poni Club Catalunya is the perfect place to take your little ones to. They offer first time rides for €15. You can also do a 30-minute trail tour (note: these tours are aimed for kids up to 7 years old). You can also host your child’s next birthday party at the Poni club. I am definitely feeling a wild-wild west theme.

My daughter and I visited Barcelona for a week last October. We did 2 tours with http://www.livingit.cat
I promise they are great! Beautiful horses, nice trails and such a nice guide! I ride horses since I was little. My daughter just started. We both enjoyed the ride because LIVINGIT adapted the trail to our riding level. We did one tour and 2 days after we decided to do another one with them; so we could see different Parks. I really really recommend them.
