Walking with the Donkey, Hiking in Ibiza
Walking frees the body and the soul, and walking with donkeys is even more than that: it provides us with this special feeling of harmony between humans and pets.
Enjoy the intense proximity to nature and the beauty of the very diverse landscapes that we find on the Island, the sea with its beaches and the steep coast, the mountains with lush forests and the hills and farmland in the most part low and rural.
All this makes each outing with donkeys a very special adventure for everyone, both for adults and children, whether in groups, with the family or individually. Step by step, we find the calm rhythm of the donkey, with the inner calm, and we contemplate the beautiful landscape that is opening up to us and that surprises us with its strength and its great variety.
For the 2022 season we have 4 itineraries planned that differ in length, slope and landscapes. The times include the round trip and an hour of rest.
Saturday at the Forada Market
Nice walks with the Donkeys alongside. Unique paths.
The Wood of the Donkeys – Forada Market
4 km 60’ (Round Trip) + 60' Break | Partecipantes 15-20 | Donkeys 2-5 | Guides 1-2
Every Saturday of the year. Departure at 10 a.m.
The little village of Forada is a nucleus located within the island and resists trends and changes without changing its appearance or its essence. Forada is a village that surprises for its simplicity: a crossroads where we find a small chapel, a bar, a shop, some houses and a school. Needless to say, around the town there are only cultivated fields, fruit trees and Mediterranean forests.
The Forada Market focuses mainly on offering local, artisan and ecological products from the island. The Market gathers the most alternative essence of Ibiza.

"Legend has it that a donkey was digging in the dry soil of the stream bed, when he moved a large stone and under it flowed the fresh water that allowed farmers in the area to prosper. But since, released from its stopper, the water flowed in the lower half of the channel, the wise animal covered the hole again so that the flow could accumulate and also water the mine above. And so, this hidden corner became the orchard that more or less the entire population of the island visits at least once in a lifetime."
A Hidden Eden.
Legend has it that a donkey was digging in the dry soil of the stream bed, when he moved a large stone and under it flowed the fresh water that allowed farmers in the area to prosper. But since, released from its stopper, the water flowed in the lower half of the channel, the wise animal covered the hole again so that the flow could accumulate and also water the mine above. And so, this hidden corner became the orchard that more or less the entire population of the island visits at least once in a lifetime.
The Buscastell valley, located in the current district of San Antonio, is about 4.5 km long, conditioned for irrigation, and at its bottom runs the creek of the same name, which will end in the bay of San Antoni.
The creek of es Broll, the most important and regular aquifer on the island, located at the head of the valley, feeds a hydraulic system of Andalusian origin, still in operation today.
Land of wells, springs and cisterns, it would be the paradise for those wicked, clever, small and enterprising pythian goblins known as ‘Barruguets’.
If they existed, they would have been living in Es Broll de Buscastell and the creeks of Porroig and Rubió, in addition to the mouth of the only river in the Balearic Islands. The three torrents mentioned may not have Barruguets, but they are the habitat of a special vegetation that is endangered by the persistent droughts that threaten both this area and
Rubió and Benirràs, the main fontinal ecosystems that remain on the island, characterized by the sources of fresh water of short route and without connection.
And the first effects are already here.
