10 GETAWAYS AND FAMILY ACTIVITIES TO GIFT ACROSS CATALONIA
Cows, Vietnamese pigs, sheep, rope parks, and hidden treasures. They all have a common denominator: they are very appealing to the little ones at home.
We are on the doorstep of Christmas, and surely we are all tired of unnecessary material gifts. At Fent País, the experiences portal that has become the Catalan reference after 10 years, they present you with the best proposals for both young and old, and above all, for family enjoyment!
Another advantage is that it’s perfect for last-minute gifts: you receive the gift voucher in PDF immediately in your email, or you have the option to have it sent to your home printed in a box.
1. Be a Farmer for a Day and Sleep with Your Family in Vall de Boí
One of the experiences highly rated by Fent País users that will make you forget about cars, horns, and the hectic city life.
In the small village of Barruera, the Hotel Farré d’Avall will welcome you and show you what life is like in a small village of just over 1000 inhabitants, visiting animals and having a homemade dinner with local products.
Additionally, you and your family can visit three of the churches on the Romanesque route.
2. Burricleta through the Medieval Villages of Empordà .
Empordanet is a special and magical place. Its villages have a unique charm, and you and your family can explore them on a burricleta, an electric bicycle with panniers, like those used by donkeys in the past.
Quietly on rural roads, you’ll pedal through pine forests and orchards, and get to know Pals and Peratallada, the incredible village declared a historical-artistic heritage.
An experience that is well worth it!
3. Spend the Night with the Family at Port del Compte and Visit the Pyrenees Zoo
Enjoy a very fun and family experience at Hotel Port 1730, a rustic mountain accommodation located at the foot of the Port del Comte ski resort. You’ll live a true Pyrenean adventure with a visit to the Pyrenees Zoo, a refuge for rescued wild animals.
The experience also includes breakfast and dinner, and you can enjoy this accommodation with a multitude of facilities and services for guest comfort, such as a picnic area and a game room for all ages.
4. Shepherd for a Day at Cal Serrats.
Have a different morning with the tasks of a real shepherd. The workday starts as soon as the sun rises, so you’ll have to wake up very early and be very tenacious. At Cal Serrats, they cultivate the land and graze flocks of sheep in fields and forests for many years.
You will get to know and familiarize yourself with the flocks of sheep, feed them, and take them to graze with the shepherd dog. You’ll also learn to milk goats and, in short, do the duties of a good shepherd.
5. Family Getaway to La Molina
Stay in a beautiful refuge at 1490 meters altitude with a typical mountain construction: stone, wood, and magnificent views of the Cerdanya region. Breakfast is included, so you’ll leave the chalet with all the energy to explore the surrounding paths.
This experience also includes entry to the La Molina adventure park for the little ones, where they can hang from trees like real monkeys
6. Magic Academy, the Escape Room that will Transport You to Hogwarts
Immerse yourself in the Harry Potter universe with the family. It’s time to dust off the magic wand! If you love escape rooms, this is a good proposal to enjoy together. In the magical world, difficult times are coming: the confrontation between good and evil is getting complicated.
You and your team are responsible for finding the secret formula in an hour, creating the Philosopher’s Stone, and using all its power to change the situation! Forward with the adventure!
7. The Most Family-Friendly Empordanet with this Experience
In a privileged environment, amidst the medieval villages of Empordà, you can enjoy a perfect proposal for the little ones in the family.
You will spend the night in an agrotourism farmhouse, where you will meet Bacon, a friendly Vietnamese pig that loves to be fed by hand.
To round off your stay, you will visit a farmhouse where everything revolves around sheep; they will show you the wool process, and you’ll pamper the newborn lambs.
8. Meet the Giants of Solsona
Did you know that the carnival giants are a parody of the giants of Solsona’s main festival?
In this experience, you will have the opportunity to visit both the city’s giants (Main Festival) and the carnival giants in one visit, with a combined visit to the Quarto de los Gigantes and Lo Cal Boig.
Discover why the Carnival of Solsona is unique thanks to the exhibition focusing on its articulated giants, with grotesque and funny forms, distributing blows while dancing to the sound of Bufi.
9. High Jumping at Barcelona Bosc Urbà
You don’t need to leave Barcelona to enjoy this activity located 5 meters above ground. You can jump as if you were on a trampoline, and it has a covered area on all four sides where you won’t need any harness or restraint.
Access is designed for both young and old to enter with maximum safety and fun. The attraction is suitable for all ages from 5 years old (children under 7 accompanied by an adult who also participates in the activity), and there will always be a technician in the area to animate and ensure that the activity is carried out with the utmost safety.
It looks very appealing!
10. Making Candles at the Honey Museum
Making a candle is not difficult, but it requires skill, and with a bit of creativity and concentration, you will create your own candle that you can take home.
The Honey Museum in Alcover offers a view of one of the most important private collections in Catalonia, where you can immerse yourself in the curious world of bees, see the tools for harvesting, and learn the honey extraction process.
