Santa Susanna is a Barcelona municipality located in the Maresme region, right on the coast. This town's history is directly linked to agriculture, through which it has grown to become – thanks to its beauty and landscape potential – one of Maresme's main tourist destinations.
The company Marisme Turisme has capitalised on Santa Susanna's characteristics (and Maresme's in general) to offer customers a leisure activities catalogue, primarily for families, groups or school trips. With these activities, you can spend a day discovering rural life while enjoying the natural environment through outdoor pursuits.
Beyond adventure activities, Maresme Turisme has created an interpretation centre designed to promote understanding of rural life.
Leisure Activities in Montnegre
One of Maresme's strengths is being one of the regions that opens the way to the Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park. This stunning Natural Park forms part of the Protected Natural Spaces Network, covering 15,000 hectares.
Montnegre's landscape emerges from a mix of coastal mountain ranges with Vallès-area depressions. A highly varied landscape, lush with vegetation, featuring accessible areas used for diverse adventure activities that attract active tourism.
Ever imagined experiencing an adventure with views of an incredible Natural Park? With Maresme Turisme, it's possible. Their "Santa Susanna, at the Gates of Montnegre" programme lets you enjoy an unforgettable day with activities like:
- Visiting the Peasant Museum at Can Cases del Racó: an innovative space where you'll discover first-hand the evolution of Maresme's landscape and agriculture. A glimpse into rural life's past, present and future – a fun way to learn to appreciate our environment.
- Tourist train departing from Santa Susanna into El Corredor. Also available: the Tower Route.
- Cultural itineraries where a guide helps interpret Santa Susanna's landscape and history, Maresme generally, and the emerging Montnegre Park.
- Check out Maresme's horse riding routes in this listing or mountain bike excursions. Two different activities with highly varied routes, but one common element: guaranteed fun in nature. Horse rides venture into Montnegre, making this activity exceptional. Bike routes cover Maresme's most rural areas, ending at the Peasant Museum.
- Other adventures: laser combat, quad bike tours or multi-activity circuits – adventure activities in natural surroundings. Fancy a laser battle with Montnegre as your backdrop? Maresme Turisme makes it possible.
Another attractive feature is package deals combining museum visits with adventure activities.
They can also arrange your stay in a rural house.
