Horse riding
Tarifa
From Tarifa to Ronda in 8 days
For
many, it is the crown jewel of tours: a six-day ride from the white beaches
of Tarifa to the famous Arab city of Ronda in the heart of Andalusia.
A ride into a world of adventure.
The
destination, 6 days’ ride away, is a real challenge. You ride through
landscape that could not be more beautiful. At the end the breath-taking
city of Ronda with the oldest bull-fighting arena in Spain awaits you.
On the way, you over-night at especially selected guesthouses with offering
a delicious cuisine typical of the region. The tour is reserved for small
groups and is accompanied by Elli, our friendly riding guide.

On
your arrival day you get to know your guide and the horses. How about
a beach ride as well?
We start on the second day, departing our stables and riding into the
natural reserve park Los Alconocales, the largest contiguous corkwood
forest in Europe.
We ride via Los Barrios and even deeper into the park towards Castellar
de la Frontera.
The
trail leads us further into the interior and to charming, whitewashed
villages - the “white villages of Andalusia”. As well,
the hilltop village of Jimena de la Frontera, a picturesque town. As well,
the historical robber hideout of Gaucin and the riverbank village of Benaojan.
The
way leads on further along the famed robber trail high over the river
Gaudiaro to Ronda, which sits dramatically high over the narrow Guadalvin
canyon.

The
area’s geography lends the tour a maximum of scenic variety. The
entire route, even in summer, leads through a very green region with its
corkwood, pine and eucalyptus forests. Olive and citrus groves occasionally
border the route. We experience the overpowering beauty of Andalusia,
from its hilly grasslands to its rocky landscapes of its various ranges.
Again and again we ride through herds of wild horses, cattle, sheep or
goats. Eagles and vulture are our constant companions. For many bird species,
the region is an important location to and from the African continent.

On
day 7 we arrive in Ronda. That evening and the following morning are available
for you to explore Ronda on your own. Then the last bit of fun: the way
back by train to San Roque, where we are picked up and brought back to
Tarifa. The horses are brought back by van. Now we enjoy your last night
in Tarifa and get to know the village’s nightlife.

After
the tour, or even before, we recommend you spend some time in Tarifa.
The city has a lot to offer, like whale-watching, surfing, kiting, mountain
biking, hiking, swimming, a visit to the royal riding school in Jerez,
Gibraltar, or even an excursion to Tangiers in Morocco, etc, etc. It’s
our pleasure to inspire you!
