Barcelona: A Countryside Farm Visit with Animals & Nature

In the peaceful countryside of Vallgorguina, we leave the rhythm of the city behind and discover a traditional Catalan farm surrounded by woodland and green landscapes. Here, we meet the animals, explore everyday farm life and reconnect with nature through a gentle, hands-on experience designed for families and curious travellers of all ages.

The Experience

Meeting the Animals of the Farm

Our visit begins among the animals that make this countryside farm their home. We encounter horses, goats, sheep, cows and chickens, discovering their different habits and how they are cared for. With guidance from the farm's experienced team, children can help feed the animals, interact with them and learn about the responsibilities of looking after them. It is a lovely opportunity to experience rural life beyond simply observing it. 

Discovering Traditional Farm Life

The farm offers a glimpse into Catalonia's agricultural traditions, shaped by generations of working with the land. We explore the stables and animal enclosures, discover where food for the animals is stored and visit the vegetable garden to learn about growing seasonal produce. Throughout the visit, the focus remains on sustainable farming, animal care and understanding the relationship between people and nature.

A Slow Afternoon in Nature

Beyond the animals, the surrounding countryside invites us to enjoy a quieter moment outdoors. After the morning's activities, families can choose to stay longer with their own picnic, making time to relax and enjoy the natural setting. It is a simple way to spend a day away from Barcelona, surrounded by greenery, fresh air and the gentle rhythm of farm life.
