Spain, Almeria - Cabo de Gata

You've probably seen Andalusia's largest nature reserve, Cabo de Gata without knowing it. It has been featured as America's Wild West, the exotic Arabia and the desert covered North Africa in a large number of movies. So it is difficult to find a better location for a trail ride.

Antonio, the owner of the ranch,  is a born horseman and a true "horse man". With his ability to communicate with both horses and people, he guarantees the well-being of the horses and the comfort and safety of the riders during the routes and rides. Antonio and his team will make sure riders and horses are in good hands!.

You can choose between two trail rides. On both trails you will stay at least two nights in a cozy hotel in San Jose. It is close to both the beach and the horses' pastures. 

If you choose Cabo de Gata star ride, you will stay all nights at the hotel San Jose and ride half dayrides in different directions. If you are a beginner, you can get lessons and learn to ride and at the end of the week you can safely trot outdoors.

On Cabo de Gata beachride you stay two nights at *** / **** hotel in San Jose and five nights in Rodalquilar.

If you want to experience the genuine Spanish coast outside the tourist route, you should go here!
