History
Sierra Maigmó has long served as communal grazing land and a waypoint on inland routes; remnants of rural terraces and Moorish-era agricultural systems are visible from many tracks.
Conservation
Operators emphasize staying on established paths to protect fragile scrub and avoid disturbing grazing regimes; bring out all picnic waste and avoid feeding wildlife.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Trails include dusty dirt tracks and occasional scree—avoid sandals to protect toes and control the stirrups.
Sun protection is critical
Bring a wide-brim hat under your helmet, sunscreen, and sunglasses—Mediterranean sun is intense even on cool days.
Tell them dietary needs in advance
If you want vegan or vegetarian picnic options, request them when booking so the host can prepare.
Time your ride for softer light
Morning or late-afternoon departures offer cooler temperatures and better photos; mid-day can be hot in summer.
Closed-toe hiking or riding shoes

Helmet (check if provided)
