Bookings are now being taken for 2013, as always the usually dates are proving very popular; Easter, May Bank Holidays and of course the school holidays in July and August. Although the trend in the UK travel market has switched to late bookings this is not advisable for key dates which still fill up well in advance. Customers can take advantage of the fact that they only need to pay a deposit now to secure the dates of their choice for 2013.

Another tip that should be taken into consideration is that booking flights early saves money! These days flights do nothing but get more expensive particularly with the low cost carriers such as Easy Jet and Ryan Air. Many airline companies operate a 'weighting' policy for their flight fares. This means that when the flight is first released the first seats are sold at the cheapest fare then as the plane fills up the fares gradually increase, if you are the unlucky one to get one of the last seats on the aircraft the fare you will pay will often be up to 5 times more than when the flight was first released.

So early booking is recommended it really can save you money!

I had a fantastic time in Antequera it was a perfect mix of relaxation and action packed! The riding was the most scenic I have ever done and I have fallen in love with Andalucian

horses! The staff were very welcoming and made sure that I had a brilliant time organising an exciting and diverse itinerary. I have never eaten so well - the food was fantastic and I got to try lots of Spanish tapas. It was an amazing few days and a great way to explore an area of Spain which is so beautiful and unspilt. I did not want to leave, it was like a big family and I will definitely come again! Thank you! Jessica

Here is a testimonial from a happy camper:

Great! The setting was beautiful and placed on the Obidos lagoon. The service was easy and hassle free which made the whole trip run so smoothly. The eco-camp that I stayed at was really different but I enjoyed it so much. The tipi was lovely, the bed was very comfy and I slept like a baby every night! The quality of the riding was excellent and the beach ride was exceptional. I could not believe my eyes when i got there. Our horses were absolutely gorgeous and so incredibly soft natured. In all of my riding experience, I never have come across such fantasticly well natured animals. They were a total delight. My overall experience was great, I thoroughly enjoyed my four day stay and would have liked to stay for much longer!

I plan on recommending this holiday to both my family and friends! 

N.B. Riding is available all year round, but from October through to April you can stay in a fantasic four star hotel in the historical town of Obidos. This is the alternative to staying in the tipis due to unsuitable weather conditions during the colder winter months.

The most successful families of Jerez whose studs and bull-breeding farms surround this beautiful old city come together to show off their most prized possessions, their Andalucian Horses!
