Based on the fact that you will be fascinated by a horseback ride around Tarragona, we must admit that you have found the best place to do it in the best way, because we will give you all the information you need to choose the horseback ride that best suits your interests. In this Catalan province you will find an infinite number of horseback riding tours, with different companies, with different services and through the most varied landscapes with strong contrasts. So, read on because we are sure that by the end of these lines you will be able to plan your day of riding on the back of these beautiful animals to perfection.

Tarragona is one of the best places you could have chosen for a horseback ride. You will be able to discover beautiful spots, go into areas that are sometimes inaccessible or require a lot of effort and practice a sport that you will end up loving. An excursion on horseback will allow you to enjoy the best of the Costa Dorada from within a different and unique province. With all kinds of landscapes, varied and perfect for any situation, here you will find paradisiacal beaches to lush forests and remote roads.

We have no doubt that the first question that has arisen is where to go on a horseback tour of Tarragona. In this region you will find up to 17 municipalities that have equestrian centres that will allow you to enjoy a day with these horses. To make it even easier for you, we are going to tell you about the best areas and spots that both we and our adventure-seekers will love to explore on horseback on a perfect day of leisure.

The municipality of Rodonya is one where you will find the most horseback riding routes in Tarragona and it is not surprising since you will find magical places here if you are looking to escape and find that perfect connection between nature, the horse and yourself. Here you can set off on many tours that will take you across long and extensive plains covered with green meadows, that will eventually lead you into beautiful groves while you enjoy the silence and nature. But without a doubt, something we have to highlight in Rodonya is the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Montserrat, which seems like a smaller version of the so-famous Sagrada Familia basilica and, believe it or not, this cathedral will suddenly emerge from within the forest as you explore its grounds on horseback. Believe us if we tell you that you will be simply amazed.

Another place in Tarragona that is home to many horse-riding routes is L'Espluga de Francolí. Here you will find horseback tours in charming rural settings and you will be able to ride surrounded by large vineyards. It is especially recommended for those who cannot conceive of a nature getaway without a nice glass of wine.

On the other hand, if what you are looking for is a horseback tour along the coast to see part of the splendour of the Mediterranean Sea, the municipality of Riudoms is the ideal place for it. You will find some routes along the shore or to enjoy the beach from the paths that surround it. Although if you prefer a real horseback ride around the Costa Dorada you can try a route on the Larga beach, the longest beach in Tarragona with almost 4 kilometres of length.

But you can also find other places like Horta de Sant Joan, El Catllar, Cambrils or Salou, where you can enjoy a pleasant day surrounded by horses, encouraging you to try out your trot and, who knows if perhaps even your gallop.

The truth is that it does not matter which destination you choose to visit Tarragona on horseback because, regardless of it, you will have a great time. A trip on horseback will never let anyone down, especially in these surroundings. The best thing is that you do not need to have extensive experience, although the riding company with whom you are going to do the horseback riding route will always ask you what your level of skill is. For a person who has never ridden a horse or has little experience, an outing of more than 1 hour is not recommended.

You will not have to worry about the equipment you will use during the tour, as the riding centre will provide the horse and you will be provided with a protective helmet. However, we do recommend you come in comfortable clothing, especially long trousers and shoes with heels to prevent any rubbing damage in these areas.

On the other hand, a route on horseback around Tarragona is suitable for any occasion. From a special celebration among friends, a surprise to a horse lover or something that never fails in this type of activity: a romantic route for just two in the company of an expert rider.

That is why we encourage you to choose a horseback riding route in the province of Tarragona as it represents one of the best ways to take a break from your routine and contemplate nature in person. Can you think of a better way to enjoy a different day right in the middle of nature?
