Overview

  • Trip Details

    Our Catalan Coast & Spanish Horses Trail leads you to the sandy beaches, bays and mountains of the incredible Catalonian coast. The highlight is staying overnight in one of the oldest P.R.E. horse stud farms in Catalonia – a truly special experience.


    A ride along the beach, wide and varied landscapes and comfortable accommodation characterize this beautiful horse riding holiday. A wine cellar where you can taste wine and cava, and the Catalan cuisine of the amazing chef give this ride a special and unique charm all allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture for the week.


    This trail is quite relaxed and without too many difficult sections. It is particularly suitable for pleasure riders. This tour also offers ideal conditions for less experienced trail riders (intermediate level). It connects the vineyards of the Catalan countryside with the Wild Coast. The moderate tempo and slightly shorter riding days do not require above average riding skills but do include nice canters. The tour is a bit more challenging on the beach ride day and there is a short descent into the coastal mountains. Proper footwear(hiking boots and chaps) and suitable clothing (waterproof). Daily riding between 3-5 hours.
