The unique location of this family-run farmhouse and equestrian centre makes riding here an unforgettable experience. Doñana National Park is one of Europe’s most beautiful and important wetlands. What makes this area so special is that in just one day you can see very different ecosystems: marshland, pine groves, lagoons, moving dunes, 30 kilometres of pristine white beaches, … The soil is all sand, which allows for excellent going for the horses.
The farmhouse offers its guests two types of horse riding experiences: dressage lessons and a five-night trail ride through the national park. The dressage programme includes two private riding lessons per day on well-trained Spanish horses. On request, the dressage lessons can also be mixed with a few short rides in the countryside. The trail ride programme is an exciting trail ride through the national park, riding on average six hours per day. While the horses will stay overnight at the end of the route each day, the guests shuttle back to the farmhouse every night for dinner and accommodation.
