SPRING TRANSHUMANITY 24 – 1st STAGE

We are leaving Transhumance!!! And we are doing it with sixteen horses, along paths recovered by the Marina Livestock Path Association with the support of many people and entities.

This contribution allows us to retain the resources (economic and human) necessary to carry out the transhumance by accompanying the horses to the new pasture, covering the expenses (route design, guidance, organization and management, permits, grass supplement for the horses during the night stop, fences) that this adventure requires.

The amount of the contribution is a donation and will be certified for tax deduction. Those people who accompany the transhumance for 1 or 2 entire sections will be able to enjoy the benefits of being a member of the foundation during this period, therefore, it would be the equivalent of becoming a member for 8 mesos.

This is a movement that we do exclusively for the welfare of horses. Most of the tasks are carried out voluntarily and altruistically by the people who are part of the Foundation.

To sign up for Transhumance, there are a few prerequisites:

• Activity for over 14 years old
• Sign volunteer agreement
• EVERYONE must pay their expenses directly to the services used: accommodation and meals. Diet and overnight stay approximately €45-60 per day

What will our journey be?
We will do the first three stages, fromOlivella (Garraf) in Montserrat, along this ancestral path of transhumance full of emotions and memories for us, which we invite you to share the weekend of May 11 to 13!

We will do the last three stages the weekend of May 17, 18 and 19, exploring for the first time Maquis paths that we have never done with horses before, from Montserrat to the new pasture of Viver and Serrateix, passing near Manresa.

In total, six days walking among free horses, with three days to return home, rest and gain strength in the middle of the journey.

*If anyone wants to accompany the 6 days, you can register for the same price as 1 entire 3-day section.

This doesn't happen every day! Do you want to join us?

Steps:

Who is it for?
For people who like walking in the mountains, horses, challenges and tranquility, with a desire to disconnect and experiences to connect with themselves! (activity for adults, accompanied young people from 14 years old).

Basic or essential things to bring:
Comfortable shoes and clothing for going through the mountains, spare shoes, raincoat, yellow vest (car), cap, gloves, knife, sunscreen, backpack to carry lunch and water during the route, bottle to fill with water, headlamp, small suitcase with the most essentials (you will travel in the assistance car and it should not take up too much space)

Other interesting facts:
To do the transhumance on foot you need to be in good physical shape. The stages last about 6 or 7 hours (between 18 and 30 km per day) with uneven terrain. If you can't walk that much and want to accompany us, we give you the possibility of acting as an assistance car (or alternating car and foot), an essential role for the crossing of carts and support for the people who will walk and the horses, in this case it is necessary to communicate it.

The daily cost of sleeping and eating is around 45/60 euros (we generally sleep in shelters with shared rooms, although sometimes we go to hotels or rural tourism depending on the stage).

There is a short stop for lunch, and sometimes we eat on the go, so we recommend bringing a sandwich or nuts, fruit, chocolate, energy foods that you can bring from home or leave at the accommodation the night before.

We have dinner early at each accommodation, and the food is ovo-lacto vegetarian with vegan and gluten-free options.

A few days before we will create a WhatsApp group to provide detailed information, such as departure time and place, and where you can ask any questions you need and clarify any last-minute doubts.
