The Solsonès region in Catalonia has launched new cabin facilities dedicated to Shinrin-yoku, a Japanese wellness practice focused on therapeutic forest immersion.

Commonly known as forest bathing, this initiative aims to boost local tourism by offering visitors a unique way to reduce stress through nature. The project highlights the natural heritage of the Solsonès area.
In addition to mental well-being, physical health remains a priority. Personal trainer Àlex Pedrico advises that core strength is essential, recommending exercises such as the Dead Bug and weighted crunches to improve abdominal definition.
