We'll take a lovely track through the countryside before stopping in the typical hamlet of Pedralva with its whitewashed houses, which welcomes travellers who like unusual places off the beaten track. The next stop is Pontal Da Carrapateira, which we will discover after an escape through a track that winds between wild hills and fields of crops that let us see some small agricultural farms.

We will make several stops with free time to enjoy the diversity of this coastline, which will delight photo enthusiasts.

We will take advantage of this unique setting to share a moment of conviviality around a Portuguese aperitif before returning quietly to your place of stay.

Excellent value...more than an hour along the cliffs and sand dunes overlooking the west coast of Portugal. Ride suitable for experienced and novice riders. Great guide service.

Amazing experience. Nelson was knowledgeable, friendly and made us feel very safe with the horses. Highly recommended
