Our exclusive "al-Ándalus" program is an excellent opportunity to get to know the most important aspects of horse culture and the history of Andalusia, guiding us through the nature of the Andalusian region, its gastronomy, and its historical heritage. We present a new, more cultural and gastronomic route, with enjoyable gallops on the gentle slopes and vast plains of the northern face of the Sierra Nevada.
We will uncover the history of the "moriscos" who remained in these lands after being expelled from Granada and stroll through small villages that have not changed their appearance since the Arab presence. The Northern Face of the Sierra Nevada, with its varied landscape ranging from the high mountain environment to the fertile Mediterranean valleys.
We will ride through numerous mountain villages that have been meeting points between the Arab and Christian worlds for centuries.
