Watch Andalusian horses perform classical dressage, Doma Vaquera, and carriage driving in Jerez. A 90 minute to 2 hour equestrian ballet.

Ride calm horses through Gran Canaria volcanic trails with multilingual guides on 1, 2, or sunset tours, with optional hotel transfers.

Fuengirola area horse show and flamenco at Finca El Cartujano, with optional paella dinner and family-friendly farm time.
“very good day out to go with the family. Horses were beatiful and well riden, the food was correct and Flamencoshow .... amazing, best ever seen!”
Watch Torrestrella bulls and Alvaro Domecq Andalusian horses at El Carrascal ranch near Cadiz, in a 1.5-hour outdoor show.

“Great day out, our guide Manuel was very informative about the buildings and the history of Cadiz, Jerez and the horses, the horses by the way were brilliant.”
Horseback through Montserrat National Park, visit Montserrat Abbey and the Virgin statue, then tour a ranch. Small group day from Barcelona.
“Excellent trip! Our tour guide was lovely and although we were unlucky with the weather (it was in March!), the views from Montserrat were amazing. The monastery is fascinating and the horse riding through the mountains is lovely. Very well organised throughout and great value for money. This was my second trip and would definitely go again.”
Small-group Montserrat monastery, nature walk, and a scenic horseback ride from Barcelona, with guides, transport, and poles included.
“The trip was absolutely amazing. We had a small friendly group of 8 people. The guide was fantastic, we learnt so much and the timing at each stop was perfect. Alongside, the girl at the ranch who was so lovely too. Being someone a bit afraid of riding, they were both so supportive and I came out of the experience a lot more confident and proud of myself for getting back on a horse which I couldn’t have done without them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and the scenery is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You won’t regret booking this trip!”
Every sort of day out, and the best-rated of each.
