But if you have no idea which are the most top to practice during this time of year, you just need to go with our selection of the most notable activities for enjoying a very autumnal scene. Are you ready?
Horseback Routes
This is one of the most requested activities all year round, but the temperatures at this time are pleasant and allow you to enjoy vast landscapes without climatic discomfort. Furthermore, horseback rides during the autumn months are indescribable as the shades of the tree leaves begin to turn ochre and the forests compose an authentic landscape.
Just one thing! It's better if you decide to live this experience soon, as many of these forests are deciduous. In the north of the peninsula, you will find a select range of natural environments that will allow you to enjoy this adventure, but if you want us to specify an area, we recommend exploring the Irati Forest in Navarra, the Muniellos forest in Asturias and the Sierra de Cazorla in Jaén.
Mycology
This activity might be synonymous with autumn. An exercise practiced especially from late September to mid-January, with October standing out as the star month as the first autumn rains favour the flowering of different mushrooms and fungi in the territory.
Surely, in almost any area you can find an environment full of various species for you to savour each bite (provided they are not poisonous, obviously). We recommend areas like the Pine Forests of Soria or the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche in Huelva. And, of course, if you have a guide who can show you which is the perfect mushroom... So much the better!

Canyoning
An exercise practiced right in the mountains, when the autumn rains cause an increase in river flows, is ready to experience its peak. A natural challenge can test you or your group, as it's the perfect plan for families or friends, but be careful! Always take into account its difficulty level because some are easy to descend, but others will leave you breathless.
The quintessential canyoning areas can be found in Huesca and the Lleida Pyrenees. In this area, many people choose the Sarratanas canyon, but if you don't want to travel far because you are from the south or simply prefer a somewhat warmer climate, you can always enjoy the descent of the Río Verde in Granada.
Quad or Buggy Routes
If you like big thrills, enjoying autumn during a 4-wheeled route is just what you need. We propose an experience on a quad or buggy for you to explore the mountains closest to you. Their forests will take your breath away and through off-road paths you can admire impressive autumnal panoramas.
Some of the most popular areas for this are the Sierra de Guadarrama in Madrid and Segovia and the Sierra de Gúdar - Javalambre in Teruel. But don't worry, you don't need to travel to these environments to experience authentic adventures because, the moment you turn on the ignition and rev the quad or buggy... You've pretty much got it made!
Paintball
Although you might think it has nothing to do with autumn, we have a very strong point in its favour for practicing it at this time: you won't get too hot. It's that simple! Sometimes the materials provided by the company, like the overalls and vest, can make you excessively hot, and if you have to make a long run to, for example, capture the flag, you'll end up very hot during the game.
At this point, recommending specific areas would be absurd because it's very likely that in every city you live in, there is a very top paintball venue to go to with your friends for a great afternoon. Surely you don't doubt it?
And now that we have proposed a great selection of plans to enjoy one of these autumnal days, which one of them all do you prefer to go for?
