You lift into the saddle as the sun clears the Mediterranean haze and the first ridges of Sierra Maigmó throw long shadows across almond groves. The horse breathes steady beneath you; the trail alternates between packed dirt, short scrub, and open pasture that lets the coastline glint in the distance.

You lift into the saddle as the sun clears the Mediterranean haze and the first ridges of Sierra Maigmó throw long shadows across almond groves. The horse breathes steady beneath you; the trail alternates between packed dirt, short scrub, and open pasture that lets the coastline glint in the distance.
Geology here is compact limestone and marl—low, rocky ridgelines carved by wind and seasonal streams. Maigmó has long been used for grazing and seasonal agriculture; Moorish-era terraces and shepherd tracks still channel the routes you ride. Local culture favors unhurried meals, so the picnic—Spanish pica pica, local cava and wine—continues that rhythm, with vegetarian and vegan choices available.
Expect easy-to-moderate terrain: most guided loops are 30–90 minutes on well-trained horses with modest elevation change (typically under 300 m total gain on the longer routes). Trails wind through open fields, short stands of Aleppo pine, and stone tracks; footing can be dusty or stony after dry spells and slick after rain.
Practicalities: rides are suitable for first-time riders; guides give a short safety briefing and mount assistance. Private transfers from central Alicante are included (confirm pickup point); tours operate in small private or small-group formats and require at least four paying guests for advertised per-person pricing. Bring sun protection, closed-toe shoes, and a sense of patience—this is a relaxed ride meant for scenery and simple pleasures rather than speed.

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.
Operators emphasize staying on established paths to protect fragile scrub and avoid disturbing grazing regimes; bring out all picnic waste and avoid feeding wildlife.
