Based at a beautifully restored hacienda in the heart of Andalusia, this is a holiday that all levels of rider can enjoy, with a mix of lessons and riding out. During holiday time the hacienda offers riding for children from 6 years onwards, and there are many activities for non-riders including swimming, hiking, cycling and Spanish cooking lessons. Yoga and Pilates classes are also available (payable on site). With car rental the historical cities of Seville, Cordoba and Granada are less than an hour away, and fascinating Antequera is 20 min.

The Hacienda has an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, massage and beauty treatments, secluded courtyards and an extensive stable of 30 well-loved and beautifully cared for horses. The horse care and riding is to English standards and style with instruction available from qualified instructors. There are opportunities for long trots and canters for better riders, on good ground through acres of olive groves, vineyards and Pine forests with spectacular views.

A few feisty moments with horses but I completely understand it’s not the same as a typical riding school. It taught us a huge amount.

There is no set itinerary for this ride, and the riding is flexible to accommodate each riders wishes and goals for their stay.
Suggested Itinerary:

Arrival day - Afternoon assessment lesson

Morning - Morning rides usually go out from 9am. Ride out through beautiful scenery at one's own pace. (1-3 hours). There are plenty of opportunities to canter through the vines and olive groves, returning to the hacienda for lunch. Relax and enjoy the pool, the gardens, and the views

Afternoon - lessons for around 1hr (according to the rider's goals) in large sand school arena.

On Fridays there is a bar hack, a 4-hour hack with breakfast. This has been very popular with guests since it started, but weather dependent during the winter months. Please be aware that guests arriving on a Friday will not be able to take part. Instead they will have an assessment Friday afternoon as normal.

The rest of the week will be riding among the vines, olives and Pines in the area, with magnificent views and lots of photo opportunities.

In the hotter months there is a change to the riding schedule: Ride at 8.00am in the cool breeze and return to the hacienda for breakfast. Another evening ride to take advantage of the cool breeze. There are more riding options in summer to enjoy long canters in ploughed fields for experienced riders.

Things to note during your stay:
Lunches: (if required) are to order the night before.
Breakfast: Guests can choose 4 items from the breakfast list, this will be prepared the night before and given to the guest after dinner. The guest can then decide if they wish to eat before or after their ride, in their room or on the patio. Washing up can be placed in the empty hamper.

Please note: All itineraries are given for your guidance only and it may be altered on the ground and in accordance with the prevailing conditions by the organising team.

The hacienda is set in the heart of Andalucía; perfect for absorbing the mountains, hills, vineyards and olive groves of the area. In spring, the local natural park is full of lilies, orchids and intoxicating smells of wild herbs and flowers. In the summer, ride across the crop-free fields in the cool of the early morning or calm of moonlight during the night. Amble along sandy pathways and meandering tracks to breathtaking mountain views of the Antequera plain and Malaga Mountains. Enjoy tapas bars and eating al fresco. Excellent location for those who want to experience the cities, towns and villages of the Andalucían region and the real Spain. There are three stunning, historic, and very different cities of Seville, Cordoba, and Malaga, and Granada a little over an hour away. Closer still, within a 20 minute car journey, is the beautiful medieval town of Antequera, the cross roads of Andalusia.

Wildlife

There is an abundance of wild life, birds and flowers in La Camorra which is a designated natural area for wild life protection to ride through, staying to the paths to prevent any intrusion to the eco system. There is the scent of pine, sage, thyme and rosemary. Hoopoes, Cuckoos, Buzzards, Kites can be spotted and possibly even one of European Eagle Owls that nest near the Cortijo each year. Beekeepers make a special honey here which has a hint of rosemary as this seems to be a favourite of the bees in this area.

Other Information

More riding can be booked and paid for on site if desired, but requires one day advanced notice. All extras such as massages, laundry and shop purchases can be paid for on site. Major credit cards and cash are accepted.

Other Country Information

Spain is a beautiful and diverse country, the second largest in Europe. The official language is Castilian Spanish but Catalan, Galician and Basque are also spoken. Territory includes two island archipelagos – the Balearics and the Canaries – and two enclaves on the North African coast, bordering Morocco – Ceuta and Melilla. The African influence can be found throughout Spain but especially in the south, for example the guitar was invented by the Spanish when they added a sixth string to the Arab lute. Music and art permeates Spanish culture, most obviously displayed in the fire and passion of the Flamenco and the stunning modern architecture found in the cities.

The famous siesta is still enjoyed by the majority of Spaniards, most shops close at lunchtime for two or three hours so everyone can escape the often scorching afternoon sun. Evening meals are served late into the evening with plenty of wine or sangria. Often meals can last two or three hours, especially if your host is serving Tapas, small and varied dishes of meats, bread, vegetables. Paella is also a delight and very popular across the country.

Spain is one hour ahead of GMT and they use the metric weights and measures system, so kilometres and kilograms instead of miles and pounds. There is approximately 1.6 kilometres in a mile and 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. The international dialling code for Spain is +34.
