Ideas for enjoying nature close to Barcelona
If you’re the sort of person who enjoys combining cultural visits in cities with nature excursions, here are four of the routes favoured by Barcelona locals, who also like to get away from it all and enjoy the outdoors, especially when these beauty spots are so close to home. These routes offer something for everyone and, like almost every other route in the country, can be enjoyed all year round.
Paths to Heaven
The pilgrim is perhaps the most ancient kind of tourist. Motivated by a desire for spiritual growth, pilgrims walk long distances, exploring new landscapes and different cultures with the goal of achieving a more sublime reality. Nevertheless, nowadays the profile of pilgrims has diversified considerably and religious routes have become more than paths to self-knowledge. Here you have 4 routes for modern pilgrims.
Sacred territory
Do you need to get away from the stress of daily life and reconnect with yourself? Visit the monasteries and sanctuaries of the regions of Barcelona and immerse yourself in total peace and silence. Spend some time in these beautiful buildings, filled with works of art and surrounded by unique landscapes, and your energy levels will be soaring. Welcome to sacred territory!
Baptism of hot air
A good place to enjoy the rich landscape of the regions of Barcelona is from the basket of a hot air balloon. From the air, the beauty of the fields and mountains seems to be magnified, and the freedom of flying like a bird will make you feel very intense emotions that will be imprinted in your memory forever. Make the dream of Leonardo da Vinci come true and dare to travel the roads of the sky!
