Culture of grazing whith donkeys

To enjoy nature and its itineraries, combining trekking and donkeys, we created the company Astotrek. In addition to practicing sports and experiencing an enriching connection with animals, we offer excursions to enjoy and understand our landscapes.

Live new experiences and learn at the same time. We have prepared 3 different walks to better understand the culture of grazing, the keys to better understand the history, the current reality and our landscape.

Come with us and with the help of the donkeys we will live the secrets of our environment.

 

3 GRAZING CULTURE ROUTES IN BERASTEGI

  1. Visit to the huts of shepherds with donkeys

It is the mountain grazing and the introduction of the culture of grazing. We cross the town of Berastegi through the mountains, taking a few breaks to listen to the explanations and ending up at a mountain hut. There we will learn how a hut works and we will do a cheese tasting. Throughout the whole way we will have the help of donkeys. The donkeys are led by the rope, creating contact with them, and in the case of children, they can ride for a while.

  1. Visit to the cheese factory through the pastures with donkeys

The march consists of two sections. On the one hand, we will walk with donkeys through the center of the Berastegi meadows. On the other hand, we will visit the “Gazpio” sheep farm and the cheese factory, ending with a cheese tasting. In addition to understanding the landscape and getting closer to the world of shepherds, we will learn about the current reality of a shepherd.

  1. Culture of grazing: mountain huts and cheese factory with donkeys

Tour on the boards of mountain shepherds, a half-day experience that combines the meadows with visits to the cheese factory. It is a complete experience, ideal to understand the culture of grazing as a whole.
