HORSE RIDING IN SPAIN: EXTREMADURA


The Extremadura, is a wild region of Spain, less known to tourists than other regions of Spain. This region is located in the southwest of Spain, bordered to the north and east by Castile, to the south by Andalusia, and to the west by Portugal. In Roman times, Extremadura was an important region of the Iberian Peninsula.

 

equestrian vacation in SpainEstremadura (also called Extremadura) is a wild Spain region, less known to tourists. Estremadura used to be an important region of the Iberian Peninsula. The region was crossed by the Via Delapidata, one of the major trade routes for tin and copper trade, which crossed Roman Spain from the north coast to the south. The road is now a hiking and riding path, connecting Andalusia to the northwest of Spain. Extremadura is one of the least populated regions in Spain, which means it has lots of wide open spaces and natural landscapes. It is also the poorest region in Spain, a historical reality which is paradoxically one of the main reasons for the richness of its historical heritage and its natural environment today.
