The best games and activities for a weekend getaway

Are you going on a getaway to a country house with your friends or family and looking for ideas to keep you entertained? Here are some games and activities for all tastes.

• Cards or board games: a classic. Games such as UNO, Trivial Pursuit, Dixit, or Catán are perfect for spending hours playing.

• Table football or darts: at La Casita de Paloma we have both games. Which do you prefer?

• Country gymkhana: simple team challenges (physical challenges, treasure hunts, etc.).

• Hiking or walks in the countryside: if the weather is good, there's nothing better than going out to explore the surroundings and breathe in the fresh air.

• Tapas contest: if you like to cook, a tapas contest can be a great way to have fun and eat the best dishes from each chef.

• Home tasting: are you more into wine or beer? Or do you prefer to try chocolates or cheeses? We know what we like. We're more into wine, but we're not going to say no to a good cheese tasting either.

• Family movie night: prepare snacks, drinks, blankets, and vote for your favorite movie.

• Karaoke: you don't need any equipment. YouTube and a speaker will do the trick.

• Scary stories: a fireplace and a rainy day are the perfect combo for a night of fright.

• Yoga or pilates: if you're more of a fitness fan, an outdoor yoga or pilates session will give you a wonderful moment of calm.

A weekend in a country house is the perfect time to disconnect and (re)connect with family and friends. Add all these activities to your list for your next weekend getaway at a country house.
