About Granja Escuela Naturalia
Granja Escuela Naturalia at Esquiroz in Navarra is a farm school founded in 1994 by Inaki and Elena, who left teaching to combine education with the outdoors. Visits are guided and hands-on - the tour goes round the animals to see, touch and feed them, and many of them have a story behind how they arrived. It keeps horses, goats, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits and emus.
Visits run as a single morning session at 11:30 on weekends and public holidays from mid-September to mid-June, booked and paid in advance; the summer is given over entirely to children's camps. The farm also runs weekly after-school farming sessions, celebrations and a Basque Olentzero event in December.
