Context
The capea with young cattle in Mojácar takes place on a fully equipped rural farm featuring a fenced arena (ruedo) surrounded by protective barriers (burladeros), ensuring safety during interactions with two young cattle. Located in the countryside of Almería, this activity takes advantage of an open, natural setting where fresh air carries the scents of thyme and barbecue, creating an authentic Andalusian atmosphere. The farm includes a restaurant, outdoor terrace, and private parking, making it ideal for large groups.
The Experience
The activity begins with a welcome and safety briefing, followed by the release and controlled handling of the young cattle in the arena, where participants perform evasive movements and dodging maneuvers under supervision. After the adrenaline rush, a calm ride on a pony or donkey offers a relaxing way to enjoy the rural landscape. The day concludes with a camp-style meal featuring unlimited drinks on the terrace, fostering social connection, accompanied by live music and the aroma of wood-fired cooking.
For Whom
This capea is suitable for participants aged 16 and over with moderate physical fitness, those interested in rural and traditional activities. It is not recommended for individuals with fear of cattle or limited mobility. Ideal for large groups, including bachelor parties, birthdays, and social celebrations.
