Central & Southern

Portugal’s unspoilt beaches have been luring travellers from around the globe for many years; they form the perfect backdrop to the contrasting inland countryside, peppered with cork, oak and olive trees that have bravely withstood the ravages of time. Now these enchanting landscapes are available to our customers. On our horse riding holidays in Portugal you can relax and enjoy the scenery from the back of a beautiful Lusitano Horse whilst taking in the sights, sounds and sweet smells of the countryside marked by the herbs and spices used to season the local dishes. Or you can enjoy classical dressage lessons on well trained horses.

Here the time passes slowly, because the Alentejo follows the rhythm of the land itself. Sturdy fortress walls rise up from hills, as at Marvão or Monsaraz, or you’ll see just a simple dolmen reminding you of the magic of the place. Atop small hills stand white one-storey farmsteads, while the castles are reminders of the battles and conquests that once took place here. The patios and gardens bear witness to the influence of the Arabs, who helped to shape the people and the nature.
