Country Living: Reconnect with the Essentials During Your Rural Getaway

Discover how a few days in the Alt Empordà can change your pace and perspective.

We live surrounded by notifications, rush, screens, and obligations. And we often feel like we're missing something: calm, silence, quality time... or simply breathing easy. That's why more and more people are looking for rural getaways that not only offer relaxation, but also... a real reconnection with what is essential.

At our equestrian center in Alt Empordà, we offer more than just charming accommodation: we invite you to experience the countryside as it used to be, with peace, nature, animals, and above all... authenticity.


1. The countryside: a different (and necessary) rhythm

In the field, there are no clocks runningHere, time is measured by the sunrise, the birdsong, or the wind through the trees. It's a slow, healthy rhythm that helps:

  • Reduce accumulated stress.
  • Sleep better.
  • Regain energy and mental clarity.

You only need a few days to notice the change.


2. Rural accommodation with soul

Forget impersonal hotels. In our accommodations, every detail is designed to make you feel at home, but more free:

  • Rooms with rural charm.
  • Views of the countryside, horses and mountains.
  • Common areas where you can unwind or read a book without distractions.

And if you wish, you can participate in the daily life of the place: feed the horses, take a walk at sunset, or simply sit and watch.


3. Activities that connect body, mind and nature

A rural getaway doesn't have to be just relaxing. It can also be active... in the healthiest way possible:

  • Horseback riding routes along rural roads and forests.
  • Walks or bike rides among olive trees and wheat fields.
  • Birdwatching and local flora.
  • Workshops and games for children in contact with the earth.

Every activity is an excuse to look around and feel again.


4. Natural food, deep rest and real silence

When you eat well, you sleep better. And when you sleep well, you live better.
In country life:

  • You recover the pleasure of a home-cooked meal, with local products.
  • You enjoy nights in absolute silence, without artificial lights or noise.
  • You wake up with natural light, without alarm clocks.

It seems simple, but it is what many of us are needing.


5. The power of “doing nothing”

A rural getaway also teaches you to enjoy things without an agenda:

  • Sit under an oak tree.
  • Watch the horses graze.
  • Walking aimlessly.
  • Take a deep breath.

And in that pause, many people find clarity, inspiration, or simply… peace.


What if your next destination isn't a place, but a way of life?

In Alt Empordà, rural tourism is not a product: it is a way of life that we want to share with you.
We look forward to welcoming you to our little natural paradise so you can discover everything that country life has to offer, even if it's just for a few days.

Reconnect with what's essential. Rediscover calm. Breathe differently.
