In the afternoon, you ride up through the “Del Tesorillo” valley. You go back to your hotel in San José.
Day 3: San José - Rodalquilar. To the North of the park are the Sierra de Gata mountains, with the craters of ancient volcanoes, surrounded by a lunar landscape and typical villages like “Los Albaricoques”. Several famous western movies were filmed here, such as "for a fistful of dollars", "the good, the bad and the ugly". The streets are named after Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone… Lunch at the" Cortijo del Fraile: it's here where the events inspired Federico Garcia for his work “Bodas de Sangre” (The Blood Bride) took place. Dinner at a local seaside restaurant to enjoy a special menu of grilled fish. Return to your hotel.
Day 4: Rodalquilar - El Playazo - Cala del Cuervo. You ride to discover the eastern part of the Natural Park. You head to "la torre de los lobos" (the wolve tower), where you can enjoy the view over the whole natural park when the weather is clear, up to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. You ride to "el playazo" beach, known since the Roman presence, which was a landmark for pirates. Return to your hotel.
Day 5: Rodalquilar - Old gold mine - Sierra de Gata - Rodalquilar. You take the old gold mine trail, straddling small ravines that were once the only connection between farms, between sea and mountain. You cross the crater of the volcano which now forms the Rodalquilar valley. You discover the cliffs which still hide gold today, and you visit the mine old installations which used to be in operation since 1933 and which finally closed in 1986. Picnic at the gold mine. Return to your hotel.
Day 6: Rodalquilar - Las Negras- Rodalquilar. A long morning ride, of about 4 hours towards Las Negras, a beautiful place with many irrigated orchards, and an atmosphere of fishermen. At the bottom of its bay is El Cerro Negro (The Black Hill), an impressive rock formation that looks like a lava spit, witness to what was the Cabo de Gata Natural Park. Late lunch: a paella in a restaurant by the sea. In the afternoon, you can take a swim in the sea. Then, return to your hotel where you can enjoy the swimming pool and possibly book a massage or a spa (not included in the price) for you relax before dinner.
Day 7: Rodalquilar - La Isleta del Moro - San José. You leave Rodalquilar by a path that runs along the coast.

Top guide.
My horse: Perfect Chili
New western saddle. I didn't manage to tame the stirrups: Sore ankles. The guide changed my saddle and stirrup without problem.
Very good all 3 hotels except perhaps the last one in terms of dinner. Comparatively, the 1st 2 were clearly above.
