Ride beach & desert, Almeria

Day One

Today you will be arriving in Almeria, officially the sunniest resort in Spain. San Jose is located approximately 40 minutes drive away from the airport. This small fishermen’s  village is situated in the middle of the picturesque marine nature reserve of Cabo de Gata. The region features dramatic cliffs, small and secluded coves and fine golden sand; it boasts some of the most beautiful, virgin beaches of southern Spain. This afternoon or early evening you will have the opportunity to ride for the first time. Beginners can choose between lessons and beach rides whilst more experienced riders can head straight for the beach. In the evening you will be able to enjoy the charming town of San Jose.

Day Two

After breakfast your riding will continue. Today you will enjoy riding along the magnificent beach of Cala Higuera.

Day Three

After breakfast you can either enjoy another ride along the beach or simply relax by the pool. In the afternoon we have a special adventure planned for you. You will be collected from the hotel and taken from the hotel to the spectacular Tabernas Desert; this is the only desert in Europe. Here you will be able to enjoy riding in typical cowboy style. You will also be treated to the fantastic show at Fort Bravo where many of the famous Spaghetti Westerns were directed by Sergio Leone.

Day Four

This morning you will be able to enjoy an unforgettable ride along one of the most beautiful beaches of this spectacular coastline. Los Genoveses. The ride will be 2 hours long. In the afternoon we recommend that you visit the beautiful town of Mojacar, perched on a hilltop from where you can enjoy fabulous views of the Mediterranean. Why not stroll along the narrow winding streets in the centre of this town which still reflect the authentic eastern past of this wonderful location. Alternatively, both Nijar and Carboneras are worthy of a visit.

Day Five
