Currently, there are very few lucky people who can enjoy direct contact with nature and animals on a daily basis or whenever they want. If in the past rural life was the most common lifestyle, today the tranquility of nature and the charm of being surrounded by farm animals as chickens, geese, donkeys and sheep have been replaced by the stress and routine of a frenetic urban life.
The Maresme region offers you the chance to break away from everyday life with all kinds of funny activities.
From BestMaresme we want to offer you a different getaway, get to discover Maresme on the back of a donkey, and thus help its repopulation, since in the past the donkey was very common in any activity related to the transport of cargo or people, cultivation and harvesting work, threshing in the threshing floor, forestry work, herd surveillance, movement of mills, waterwheels and water pumps, etc. but with industrialization it was disappearing.
These two centers for the revaluation of the asinina species, which we propose, are located in Maresme, specifically in Tiana and Dosrius.
