The route presents an excellent opportunity to explore the key aspects of Andalusia, including its horse culture and rich history. This journey takes us through the region's stunning natural landscapes, diverse gastronomy and renowned historic sites. The adventure starts with a four-day horseback ride in the Sierra Nevada National Park, where we will witness the transition from high mountain terrain to fertile Mediterranean valleys. 

Along the way, we will pass through various mountain villages that have long served as meeting points for Arab and Christian influences. These villages are renowned for their exquisite cured hams and local wine. Additionally, we'll visit the Alhambra in Granada and the magnificent Mosque of Cordoba, both designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. During the final two days in Cordoba, we will have the opportunity to visit the Spanish Pure Bred Horses Royal Stables and enjoy some horseback riding amidst the picturesque olive groves that dot the landscape.
