The Experience The ride begins with horse assignment and a brief safety briefing. You’ll start among pine trees, where wind carries scents of thyme and resin. Then, you’ll ride across the Acantilado del Asperillo, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rough texture of fossil dunes beneath your horse’s hooves.

The tour concludes with a return to the starting point, where you can enjoy a traditional local refreshment.
