Riding in Spain... and beach holiday !
Spain is one of the most popular southern European travel destinations. Especially the warm summer weather
attracts tourists from Northern Europe.
Large sandy beaches, magnificent dunes and lagoons and good hotels with clean facilities and of course the always
pleasant climate make the country an ideal destination for a beach holiday.
The holiday in Spain:
Many travelers who opt for the
holiday in Spain
do not just want to spend the whole holiday by the sea. They also
want to undertake something else. And here we offer the ideal combination with horse riding. A vacation where you
learn to ride or you solidify your existing knowledge.
The coastal areas of Spain with their endless scenery and great beaches offer
horse farms and riding stables
where you can spend a wonderful combined holiday.
The Costa Blanca is a popular Spanish holiday region, for not only the southern coast with its large beaches and
its distinctive landscape is attractive for a riding holiday. Accommodation and apartments in the region of
Alicante for example are a good alternative for holidays in Andalusia.
Riding at the beach:
From the long sandy beaches, impressive dunes and the rocky back country to small romantic beaches and natural
lagoons the region offers everything the holiday-maker could wish for his holiday.
The
Andalusian countryside
has a stillness about it because many of the horse farms are well integrated in the nature. The dunes and lagoons
which were so important in ancient times are now preserved by Spanish tourists, while much of the land is dedicated
to nature, which is all the better for
horse riding
and the pure beauty for all vacation activities is even offered. Situated in a quiet region south of Alicante, the
dunes of
Guardamar and Torrevieja
serve as a central base for any kind of rides into the surrounding countryside. From the nature reserve of this
medieval region, which was used by several foundations, every one has the opportunity to experience riding lessons
even for beginners and childs. The beautiful unspoiled Andalusian region between Alicante and Aguilas, which gave
its name to the trees, is the setting for whole-day
rides through the countryside of Valencia.
One riding tour proceeds to several different villages during the vacation, staying in small hotels typical of the
Spanish country region, while the other is based at the horse farm and combines riding and family holiday at the
beach with the opportunity to meet other riders and equestrians.
