15 Things to do in the Maresme in summer with children
The other day Picotet had a nightmare. He dreamed that some very parrot friends said that in the Maresme there is little to do... Aiii mother! What a displeasure he had. He got sick and everything!
To reassure him, it occurred to me to make a list with some ideas of things to do in the Maresme. And...now that I think about it...maybe they are of interest to you too!! Some you may have already done, others will be the perfect excuse to return... Prepare the list and a pen and tick to see what you still have to discover. Are you ready?
1. Finding treasures with iaia geocaching
Do you know what Geocaching is? Geocaching or Geofencing is an outdoor game of searching for treasures in the real world with the help of GPS devices. To participate you will have to download the free geocaching application on your mobile and you will receive the specific coordinates where each of the treasures is hidden. With the help of GPS you will have to go to the specific point where the "treasure" is hidden and find the geocache or container hidden by other players. I have 10 hidden by the Maresme... charge mobile and enjoy the hunt.

3. Take a good excursion through the 3 natural spaces
Si te digo que en el Maresme tenemos tres espacios naturales de la Red de Parques de la Diputación de Barcelona, ¿cuáles me dirías? ¡Exacto! Sierra de Marina, Cordillera Litoral y el Montnegre y el Corredor. Brutales para disfrutar del susurro de los pajaritos y vistas al mar. ¿Buscas algún itinerario sencillo?

6. Get started in navigation and nautical activities
If you have not yet dared to go beyond where the waves hit, you must try some nautical activity. In the ports (El Balís, Mataró, El Masnou...), yacht clubs or nautical bases (Arenys de Mar or Pineda de Mar) you will find some activity that makes you laugh: sailing, paddle surfing, banana... to freak out with the wind in the face!!

7. Do something silly from my guide
If you have my guide, surely you have seen that you can do something stupid or challenge. What dare you record yourself singing my grandfather's habanera? It would be a very cool tik-tok, don't you think?

9. Ride a donkey or a horse
Yejaaaaahh!! And who wouldn't want to be a real rider? Traveling routes on horse or donkey are one of the things that the little ones like the most. In Burros del Corredor in Dosrius or Burros de la Cordillera in Tiana they provide you with activities with these hard-working animals. If you are more of a horse, there are very good offers at Rancho Mestres in Santa Susanna, Cal Senyor in Vilassar de Dalt, among others.
