Equestrian Flamenco Show with Dinner in Mijas

Context The equestrian flamenco show with dinner takes place at Finca El Cartujano, a traditional Andalusian cortijo located between Fuengirola and Mijas. This historic estate is home to more than 12 purebred Spanish horses and offers a unique performance blending classical dressage, cattle handling, and elegant horseback riding. The venue is known for its warm, family-friendly atmosphere and convenient access via a free shuttle bus from the Costa del Sol. The event runs from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM, making it ideal for enjoying both the afternoon and evening in a traditional rural setting. ">">The Experience The evening begins with a warm welcome at the finca, followed by a self-guided tour of the stables, where the scent of fresh hay and the sound of hooves echo through the air, building anticipation for the main performance. Next, witness a breathtaking equestrian demonstration featuring horses in motion, all accompanied by live flamenco music, hand claps, and passionate dancing. A traditional Spanish dinner featuring aromatic chicken paella and grilled barbecue is served while guests enjoy the authentic Andalusian decor and cozy ambiance. ">For Whom This event is ideal for families with children aged 11 and up, groups of friends interested in Spanish culture, and tourists seeking a full cultural experience. It is not recommended for individuals with very limited mobility unless assisted, nor for those who are uncomfortable with live animal performances or live music. ">Local Context Finca El Cartujano reflects the deep-rooted traditions of Andalusia in every detail—from its architecture to the breeding of purebred Spanish horses.
