Barcelona offers countless ways to explore - from its wealth of artistic masterpieces and historic buildings to its mountains and coastline. You can experience active tourism in various forms - why not try a hiking route?
The company Scenic Walking Barcelona provides diverse resources to make your adventure activities with them both unforgettable and tremendously enjoyable.
What can you experience? Their flagship activity is nordic walking. Why? It's a full-body workout, making it highly recommended for everyone: improving muscular strength, coordination, cardiovascular health... while letting you connect with nature.
This technique has been practised in Nordic countries since approximately 1930, and in recent years has become fashionable in Spain as a complement to tourist offerings across many regions.
Who can practise nordic walking?
This activity is suitable for anyone wanting to enjoy nature. What do you need? Comfortable clothing and choosing your motivation - whether you're interested in tourism, improving your fitness through training, or focusing on your health.
Walking with poles makes it far more comprehensive than regular hiking, while significantly reducing joint strain. Among other benefits, nordic walking increases oxygen supply, relieves neck and spinal tension, improves coordination, reduces stress and strengthens the immune system.
What pairs well with nordic walking?
Stroll through the province's natural parks and enjoy spectacular panoramic views. Discover various trails across different routes they offer, and seize opportunities for new experiences like birdwatching.
An ornithologist will accompany you throughout the itinerary, explaining the characteristics of all the birds you encounter. If you choose this option, you can practise it in various locations like El Remolar, Ebro Delta, Congost de Montrebei or Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, among others - home to herons, gulls, eagles, storks, plovers, flamingos, bee-eaters and more.
