HORSE RIDING IN SPAIN
Spain is a main destination for equestrian holidays. In Spain, the offer of horse riding holidays is important, and it is sometimes difficult to find the one that suits you best. In addition, many structures are managed by foreigners 
(English, German, French): we have prefered to select local Spanish guides and instructors, to share their passion for their country with you. They perfectly know and love their region, speak English, and offer quality services with great Spanish horses !
Discover Spain on horseback with superb trail rides or equestrian holidays, in the best parts of Spain for horseback riding: in Andalusia, Catalonia, Extramadura, Sierra de Gredos, Minorca or Majorca, in high mountains in the Pyrenees or the Europa Pics.
Spain has so much more to offer than flamenco music and dancing, bullfights, fantastic beaches and a lot of sun. It is one of the cultural centers of Europe. Spain offers beautiful towns and villages, such as magnificent landscapes and coasts. There are endless expanses of wild sierras to explore, as well as stretches of spectacularly rugged coastline between the beaches. One of the best ways to explore this diverse countryside is on horseback !
The Spanish horse is believed to be the oldest riding horse in the world. The Spaniards are rightly proud of their equestrian culture. And today you will find this wonderful horse all over Spain, rightly admired for its temperament and empathy with the rider. In Spain, you will be riding one of these adorable horses.
Culturally, the country is full of stunning old buildings, from Roman aqueducts and Islamic palaces to Gothic cathedrals. Almost every second village has a medieval castle, so you can walk through these old villages and soak up their history through the mountains and valleys that make up much of the countryside. What could be better than a few hours on horseback, then a glass of Spanish wine accompanied by delicious tapas !
Over fifty million tourists visit Spain each year, but you can also travel for days and hear only Spanish speaking. Visiting Spain is not only about the sun, good food and a warm welcome, but also its rich monumental heritage and dazzling natural environment. There are many wonderful places to ride, whether it's on a trail in the mountains, through one of the national parks or while galloping on a wild beach.
