Description

Context The Calblanque Regional Park in Cartagena is a protected natural area featuring a Mediterranean landscape of rolling hills, woodlands, and untouched coastal beaches. Its network of natural trails, reaching a maximum elevation of 100 meters, offers gentle terrain perfect for low-difficulty horseback riding. The proximity to the Mediterranean Sea brings a distinctive salty scent to the air and provides opportunities to spot migratory peregrine hawks, a species of raptor native to the region.

The Experience The ride begins with a brief orientation and a familiarization walk on the stable’s flat arena, where you’ll meet calm, well-trained horses suited for beginners. You’ll then ride along forested trails as your guide shares insights about local flora and fauna. The journey continues along the shoreline, where the rhythmic sound of waves blends with the soft hoofbeats on packed sand. The ride concludes with a peaceful return to the stable, enjoying the refreshing Mediterranean breeze. ">",
