Sierra Nevada - Spain

Alpujarra Ride

5 star rating   19 September 2025

Katy who has been on 11 In The Saddle rides. A wonderful adventure in the mountains with plenty of immersion in Spanish village life and culture | Riding was as expected - mostly at walk due to the nature of the terrain and the heat, with the opportunity to have short canters when on the wider, more flat and open tracks. There were a lot of times when it was necessary to lead the horses, both ascending and descending the mountain paths. Mounting and dismounting on both sides, sometimes on narrow tracks, is a necessary part of the trip, so it's good to be practised at this and be fairly walking fit with good, non slip short boots.
