Taking your dog hiking in Girona is one of the activities our guests at Mas Torrencito repeat most. For 20 years we have been welcoming families with dogs of all breeds \u2014 yes, including restricted breeds with no issues whatsoever<\/a> \u2014 and the question is always the same: where do we take them tomorrow? Here are the five hikes we recommend most, from a flat lakeside stroll to the clifftop trails of Cap de Creus. Suitable for all fitness levels, suitable for all dogs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The circuit around the lake is flat, well-marked and shaded enough for your dog to stay comfortable even in summer. Around 7 km with virtually no elevation gain, with several spots where dogs can wade in the water. If you have an older dog, one with reduced mobility, or you simply want a relaxed morning out, this is the one. It is no coincidence that it is the most repeated recommendation among our guests.<\/p>\n Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy \u00a0|\u00a0 Distance:<\/strong> ~7 km \u00a0|\u00a0 Elevation:<\/strong> minimal \u00a0|\u00a0 Best season:<\/strong> year-round<\/p>\n The beech forest of La Garrotxa is one of those places that is hard to describe until you have seen it yourself. The trails are gentle, the ground is soft and in autumn the smell of damp earth and fallen leaves has dogs with their noses glued to the ground the entire way. You can combine it with a visit to the Santa Margarida volcano if your dog is up for a bit more climbing. If you are planning a multi-day trip with your dog through Girona<\/a>, the Garrotxa is worth a full day.<\/p>\n Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy \u00a0|\u00a0 Distance:<\/strong> ~3\u20135 km depending on route \u00a0|\u00a0 Elevation:<\/strong> very low \u00a0|\u00a0 Best season:<\/strong> autumn and winter<\/p>\n Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, and it shows. The landscape is rugged, wild and spectacular. The paths are not technically demanding but do require attention \u2014 loose rocks and sun-exposed stretches mean you should bring plenty of water and go out of high season. In summer the heat is too intense. In spring or autumn, it is stunning. After the hike, there are dog-friendly beaches near Girona<\/a> close to the Cap that are well worth the short detour.<\/p>\n Difficulty:<\/strong> Moderate \u00a0|\u00a0 Distance:<\/strong> variable (4\u201312 km depending on route) \u00a0|\u00a0 Elevation:<\/strong> moderate \u00a0|\u00a0 Best season:<\/strong> spring and autumn<\/p>\n The ascent to Sant Pere de Rodes monastery takes some effort, but the panoramic views over the Empord\u00e0 plain and the Costa Brava from the top make every step worth it. It is one of those hikes where the dog arrives at the summit just as happy as you do. Ideal for anyone who wants to combine nature with a little history without the effort feeling like a slog.<\/p>\n Difficulty:<\/strong> Moderate \u00a0|\u00a0 Distance:<\/strong> ~5\u20137 km return \u00a0|\u00a0 Elevation:<\/strong> ~300 m \u00a0|\u00a0 Best season:<\/strong> spring and autumn<\/p>\n The Cam\u00ed de Ronda follows almost the entire Costa Brava coastline. You do not need to walk it end to end: pick a section, start in one village and finish in the next. In high season there are too many people; in low season it is a completely different experience. The sound of the sea, your dog trotting ahead of you, no rush. One of the hikes we recommend most to guests staying several nights. If you are travelling with a large dog or a restricted breed<\/a>, this trail will give you no trouble at all.<\/p>\n Difficulty:<\/strong> Variable (easy\u2013moderate) \u00a0|\u00a0 Distance:<\/strong> choose your section \u00a0|\u00a0 Elevation:<\/strong> low\u2013moderate \u00a0|\u00a0 Best season:<\/strong> low season<\/p>\n These five hikes are the ones that always come up at the breakfast table when someone asks where to go. They are not the only ones \u2014 Girona has enough trails to fill weeks \u2014 but they are the ones that genuinely work with real dogs, in all conditions. If you are unsure which one suits your dog best \u2014 size, age, breed, it does not matter \u2014 just ask us. We have been opening the door to everyone for 20 years.<\/p>\n And if you have not yet chosen where to stay, here is why staying at Mas Torrencito near the Costa Brava<\/a> makes sense: no breed restrictions, no dog limits per room, and 7 fenced hectares where your whole team can roam free.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n June or September: same sunshine, lower price.<\/p>\n The best hikes happen when the trails are quiet \u2014 and your dog can run without the crowds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here, dogs don’t just pass through. They stay. Dogs, people, moments that stick with you \u2014 that is what happens at Mas Torrencito every single day. If you want to be part of it, take a look at our pet-friendly rooms<\/a> and bring your dog \u2014 here they are as welcome as anyone. \ud83d\udc3e<\/p>\n1.
