As you might expect, most of the horseback riding routes are in the paradisiacal town of Níjar. Here you will be able to trot along beautiful beaches that will fascinate you and give you an afternoon of unbeatable relaxation while you discover in the most entertaining way its world-wide UNESCO-declared geopark, Cabo de Gata-Níjar. If this all seems spectacular in itself, wait until you ride on the back of a horse. Equestrian routes that will take you to the best beaches and corners of the municipality of Níjar, its emblematic dunes or some of its most mythical beaches and coves such as those of Agua Amarga, the Enmedio cove or visiting the Millenary Olive Tree which you will reach by crossing fields decorated with palm and peach trees.

Without a doubt, it is possible to talk about the definitive horseback riding route in Almería as the one that will take you riding through the Sierra de la Alhamilla, el Valle de las Cuevas, Cabo de Gata and the Torre García chapel.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for an excursion on horseback that will take you through the countryside, away from the coast of Almeria, visiting the town of Vera is also a safe bet. Here you can sign up for a horseback riding route that takes you across vast plains and admire beautiful views of the Sierra de Cabrera, the town of Turre and even Mojácar, an iconic town in this region full of white houses, until finally arriving at the town of Vera. Even so, you will also find coastal horseback riding routes in this area, as you can visit the beach of Puerto del Rey.

Finally, a horse ride tour through the town of Roquetas de Mar is also a must, where you can walk among beautiful marshes and get to know the Punta Entinas-Sabinar natural park, and enjoy the company of herons and pink flamingos along the way.

You won't have to worry about anything else because the rest of the material (such as the protective helmet) is provided by the company. Nor will you need any experience to join us in a horseback riding experience as you will also be given training prior to the ride at the equestrian centre itself. However, when you make your reservation you must inform us if you have never ridden a horse before so that the rider-guide can adapt the route to your level and that of the rest of the group. Bear in mind too, that an itinerary on horseback that exceeds an hour and a half for someone who has never ridden such an animal before would be excessively exhausting.
