Operated by Pura Aventura · San Miguel de Salinas, Comunidad Valenciana
San Miguel de Salinas, located in Spain’s Comunidad Valenciana, offers a slice of empty-space tranquility just outside the coastal bustle of Torrevieja. Pura Aventura brings riders closer to this rugged landscape through horseback tours around La Pedrera Lake, an expansive saltwater lagoon famous for its striking natural contrasts and vibrant birdlife. This area’s mix of flat saline flats and gently rolling fields creates an unusual backdrop for horse riding—far removed from typical beach rides or mountain trails.
Pura Aventura’s routes range from a leisurely, scenic ride across varied terrain to a concise 30-minute tour that stops at a panoramic viewpoint above the lake. The views capture the shimmering salt deposits juxtaposed with patches of aromatic Mediterranean shrubs and wildflowers, while flocks of flamingos and marsh birds often punctuate the horizon. The riding experience here is notably quiet, the peacefulness only broken occasionally by bird calls or the rhythmic steps of horses.
What sets this operation apart is its intimate connection to the unique landscape around Torrevieja, known for its salt lakes with high mineral concentrations and internationally recognized ecological importance. Combining local knowledge with thoughtful horse care, Pura Aventura offers a gently immersive way to experience a part of Spain less crowded by tourists.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider, the company’s approachable guides tailor the journey to your pace, bringing a sense of calm connection to nature and the animals. For adventurers seeking a break from standard beach activities, these rides provide an unexpected route into the natural heritage of the Comunidad Valenciana. Pura Aventura’s horseback tours highlight a quieter, wilder side of southern Spain, making it an unmissable activity for outdoor lovers visiting the region.
