“Yes, I can say, without fear of generalizing, that every mother is a woman, a person, a rare flower. Each one with specific needs to develop and flourish.” - Carmen Pacheco. Yes, Mother's Day is approaching, and no... none is comparable to another.
In this post we have thought about women, the “vitamin” mothers, who never stop for a second, who manage to do everything, who never seem to be tired. Those who take their bike and helmet out on Saturday mornings and don’t come back until lunchtime, those who run, those who walk, those who never run out of energy…
Our mothers, all different, special, very much their own and whom only we, the children, truly understand, always deserve time, space and affection.
That is why, on the first Sunday of May of each month, we pay tribute to them a little more loudly and make it clearer than ever that they are our most precious pillars.
After reflecting on what adventurous mothers who lead this lifestyle can be thankful for more than anything else, we offer you 5 gift ideas that won't fail.

COMPLEMENT BY GIVING ADVENTURE-FILLED EXPERIENCES
Bungee jumping
Imagine finding yourself in the heart of the green and leafy Aragonese Pyrenees, where silence is the protagonist and is only interrupted by the running water of the rivers in the area and the native birds, and you, enjoying nature and the company of the greatest ally you can have: your mother. Suddenly, you stop dead on a bridge, and your mother, who doesn't know exactly where she is going, suddenly realizes that she is on the Murillo de Gállego, the best bridge for bungee jumping in Spain. This is due to its 20 meter high jump and the spectacular nature of the surrounding landscapes.
We are sure that your adventurous mother lives in a constant non-stop day to day life and needs to release adrenaline. Bungee jumping is one of the best solutions to release all the accumulated stress in a moment. If your mother is a born adventurer, what are you waiting for to give her the best Mother's Day gift? Below we leave you a link so you can take a look at one of the agencies that organize bungee jumping activities in Murillo de Gállego:
Skydiving
We are now in the city of Toledo, known for its surroundings, its warm climate and its wonderful gastronomy. Although perhaps the most important thing as far as this article is concerned, is that it is one of the best cities for skydiving in Spain. We know that your mother is not afraid of anything and has a tremendous free and adventurous spirit! But has she ever gone skydiving? Does she know what it is like to fall at 200km/h from the heights? Your mother needs you to accompany her to experience the euphoria that comes from flying, as liters of adrenaline flow through her blood. When she lands again, she will feel like the owner of the universe and nothing will be able to stop her from taking on the world.
If you want more information, or are interested in booking your skydiving session with your mother as soon as possible, this link below will take you directly to the company that is in charge of organizing this experience:
Paragliding
We return to the north of Spain, this time to Asturias, a place that, in addition to having mountains, vegetation and offering the sensation of breathing fresh air every time you fill your lungs, is also a coastal place and the temperature and atmospheric conditions are usually pleasant (when it is not raining).We are in one of the most beautiful places to enjoy a paragliding trip. Cuervo Hill is the place where the landscape impresses a little more than the rest, where you will see the tops of the hills and mountains at your feet, and the immensity of the sea will make you feel small and infinite at the same time. Your mother will love it. She will renew her energy and recover all the vitality she deserves. She will bring out the adventurer inside her again. When you finish this experience, and the high has gone down a bit, take a walk along the Gijón promenade, have a good cachopo for dinner, or go for a swim at the beach!
If we have already convinced you, we direct you with this link to the website of the organizers of the paragliding flight over Cuervo Hill:
Hot air balloon ride:
This experience is not so extreme, but it requires that your mother is not afraid of heights and that she puts into perspective the apparent fragility of the object that is carrying her. We are going to Catalonia, to the Natural Park of the Volcanic Zone of La Garrotxa, in Gerona. You and your mother will enjoy the best example of volcanic landscape in the Iberian Peninsula. The area that is flown over has forty volcanic cones and more than twenty lava flows. A very positive point of this experience is that many of the agencies that organize these flights offer cava and coca de chicharrones, and when landing, as the balloon takes off early in the morning, when life is still calm, they offer you a delicious country breakfast.
We can't fly on our own yet, but these experiences bring us a little (quite a bit) closer to that feeling: freedom. And your mother deserves it. Below, you can access the official website for balloon rides in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park:
Stop the world for a moment: Yoga retreat
We know that your mother is already an adventurer 365 days a year, so why not give her something that will help her completely relax on her day? You can also release negative energy by completely relaxing to fill your body with good sensations. From the paragliding in Gijón we now teleport to Marbella, more specifically to the Marbella Club, which organizes retreats focused on well-being and overcoming exhaustion. Your mother will be able to rebalance her body, her mind, practice yoga and meditate. She will be able to get off the beaten track for a day and be the protagonist for 24 hours. She will know what to pick up and what to drop when she returns home.
So that you don't have to think about it any longer and you can embark with your mother on this spiritual experience, we leave you the link to the retreat center:
These five experiences are amazing ideas because, on the one hand, your mother likes risk and would surely prefer a day surrounded by nature to remaining locked up in the rush, stress and saturation that the city sometimes gives us. In addition, these experiences work as a double gift; because you also give her time. Time together.If you also want to complement one of these experiences with something tangible that can be used in their adventures, we offer you these five other ideas that you can give them:
ADDITIONAL GIFTS TO THE SPORTS ACCESSORIES
Carabiner-shaped earrings
Hiking is more than just a hobby, it's a way of life, a passion, and being able to wear a piece of jewelry related to what your mother likes the most can mean a lot to her. Instead of giving her earrings that she surely already has, or has similar ones, why not get out of your comfort zone and try some earrings shaped like a carabiner? In addition to loving them, they will be funny and she won't store your gift in the limbo of memories.
Sports camera
Recording experiences as incredible as those you live when you do outdoor sports, or extreme sports, is the best thing there is. A sports camera will make your mother especially happy, as she will be able to record the adventure of jumping off a bridge, paragliding or going up many meters in a hot air balloon, and then, of course, show it off to everyone!
Watercolor kit
Is your mother an artist as well as an adventurer? She surely likes to draw or paint the landscapes she sees, to capture them on paper and keep the memory in a tangible form. When she stops to rest halfway along her hiking route and suddenly realizes that she is in the heart of a waterfall, at the beginning of a river, deep in the forest, or on top of a peak, higher than the clouds, she will surely appreciate having a travel painting kit with a pad, some watercolors and several brushes.
The book Nothing is impossible. (Kilian Jornet)
Nothing is Impossible is an autobiographical account by the athlete Kilian Jornet, in which he tells how he has pushed his body to the limit, suffered multiple injuries, exposed himself to great risks and achieved records that have amazed the world. With apparent simplicity, he has achieved what seemed impossible. But nothing is the result of chance: since childhood, he has trained his body and mind, and has prepared himself thoroughly for both success and failure. He has explored the limits of human endurance, and his feats, such as the double ascent of Everest, are difficult to surpass. Kilian Jornet shares the accumulated experience in his most honest and vitalistic book. In “Nothing is Impossible” he offers us a valuable lesson that encourages us to make our dreams come true, to run with passion and freedom and, above all, to enjoy the mountains. If your mother has not yet read it, this option is ideal for a gift. Kilian Jornet inspires, motivates and makes you believe that everything can be achieved.
Hammock backpacking tent
When you go camping, you usually take a tent with you or there are even those who build their bed in the car and sleep in it, with a duvet and a couple of pillows. But lately it has become very fashionable to arrive at the camping areas and inspect the area, find two strong and robust trees close to each other, and place a hammock between the two. Your mother will feel like a silkworm if she uses this format to sleep, but we assure you: it is very comfortable. The next morning, no back pain from sleeping on a steep slope or on some small stones (as happens with tents) or mosquito bites, since these hammocks come with a mosquito net included. A very original way of sleeping in suspension and in direct contact with nature. Your mother will love it.
Our mothers have taught us many things, including how to take care of what we love and care about, how to take risks, and how to face our fears. So, if you haven't already, now is the time to thank her. Think about which of these experiences best fits your mother's personality or which gift she will be most excited to unwrap, and Add a cap or some sporty or casual sunglasses (or even some ski masks if snow sports are your thing) that will come in handy to accompany her and take care of her on all her adventures, in and out of town. We hope you love it!
