With the Family

Autumn is the season of warm colours. Forests become magical places of orange, red and yellow where mushrooms of all colours spring up among the fallen leaves. We’ve lined up six walking routes to enjoy at this time of year.

Now that the cold weather is upon us, you might feel like staying at home under a nice warm blanket, but actually there are plenty of hikes that are suitable for even the coldest of days. By the sea or in the mountains, the regions of Barcelona are full of spots that almost always catch some sun and where you can enjoy your surroundings in pleasant temperatures! Are you keen to discover them?

L'Anoia és una comarca per redescobrir, i la millor forma, és fer-ho caminant. El seu paisatge encara agrícola convida a la calma i a mirar l'horitzó. Deixa't impressionar per les seves torres i castells i ressegueix la història dels seus protagonistes. Et proposem tres rutes aptes per a tota la família, si esteu acostumats a caminar. 

Muleteers, ragpickers, stampers, weavers, tanners, potters, paper makers... The world has changed so much over the last hundred years that we sometimes forget that there didn’t use to be app developers, community managers or drone operators. Fortunately, there’s is an extremely effective antidote to such ignorance and forgetfulness! The museums that tell us about the jobs of our grandparents and help us understand who we are and where we come from.

Looking for a picnic area that’s suitable for a day out with the kids? Here are four very different ones, close to cities and up in the mountains, but with one common ingredient: the kids will have so much fun that they won’t want to leave. Get the lunchboxes ready and let the adventure begin!

Where do eggs come from? What about the meat we eat? If your children are asking themselves these questions, what better way than to take them to find out for themselves? In the regions around Barcelona, several rural houses and farm schools offer the chance to see their work first-hand. Collecting eggs laid by hens, feeding lambs, petting calves or milking a cow are experiences you can enjoy if you decide to try one of the five activities described in this article. This is definitely also well-being or, rather, rural family well-being. Enjoy!
