The experience includes a 4x4 transfer to the starting point, adding an adventurous touch before the ride begins.

The Experience After gathering at the Riumar Seafront Promenade and receiving safety helmets, participants transfer by 4x4 to the trailhead. Riding on well-trained horses, guests follow a natural path winding through rice fields and along the Ebro River’s edge. The breeze carries the fresh scent of water, and bird songs accompany the journey, which includes scheduled stops to observe flamingos and other native birds. The deep connection with nature remains constant throughout the ride.
