A low trail of hooves and the salt-scented wind set the opening scene: riders thread pine-shaded tracks that slope toward the Mediterranean, then rise to ridgelines where the sea glints flat and demanding. For three hours, the landscape pushes and welcomes you — waves daring the cliffs below while the pines hold their breath above.

Bring sun protection

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Choose ankle-supporting footwear — horseshoes and stony tracks mean flip-flops are unsafe.
