Horseback riding in the heart of the Empordà: nature, calm and connection with the environment.

The Empordà is a territory that invites to be traveled with pause, enjoying every detail of the rural landscape, open fields, dirt roads and forests that surround villages with centuries of history. If you are looking for an authentic activity, quiet and in contact with animals, we propose a different experience: horseback riding routes near Can Bassa, ideal for exploring this region from another perspective.

We recommend Hípica Mas Paguina to live the experience, an equestrian center located near the Gola del Ter, where you can enjoy horseback riding routes suitable for all levels. Whether it's your first time riding or you have previous experience, this is a respectful and sensory way to immerse yourself in the landscape of inland Girona.

An activity for everyone, from adults to children

The horseback riding routes are adapted to the level of each rider, with departures of one or two hours through rural roads, agricultural fields and trails that cross areas of great natural value. For the little ones, Hípica Mas Paguina also offers pony rides, an ideal option for families who wish to share the activity with their children.

During the excursion, you will be able to observe the native flora and fauna, enjoy the silence of the environment and connect with the slow pace of the horse. It is a perfect experience for those who value contact with nature and want to discover the rural Empordà in a calm and conscious manner.

Explore the natural environment in a respectful way.

Montar a caballo es una de las formas más sostenibles de recorrer el entorno. Permite acceder a zonas poco transitadas, sin dejar huella, y a la vez conecta al visitante con el entorno de manera íntima y directa. Las rutas a caballo en el Empordà pass through places that are not accessible by car, and that only reveal themselves to those who choose this type of slow activity connected with the landscape.

At Can Bassa, we are committed to local tourism and work with local companies such as Hípica Mas Paguina, who share our values of respect for the territory, animal welfare and promotion of responsible activities.
