“We thought nothing could top our first tour with you but I am so glad we came back! That was even better. The days you spend exploring and hacking down the undergrowth to open up forgotten trails really pays off in the variety and charm of your routes. Keep it up and thank you from all of us!” Julia, Joaquim, y Sergio Sept 2011
"As usual, Ride Andalucia never disappoints. Once again you found yet more fascinating trails and wonderful views for us. Every little ‘venta’ lunch was delicious and the stay inside the castle walls at Castellar unbelievable. Looking down through the battlements at that lake at sunset…..WOW! Not to mention the wonderful clattering of our steeds on the cobbles!” Jonathan Oct 2011
A few words from your tour organizer/guide:
With a lifetime working with horses behind me, including a childhood in Ireland, I would never have guessed how many wonderful new experiences lay in store for me in Andalucia. Riding local horses across this wonderful country, exploring the trails used through the centuries by muleteers and horsemen, I have experienced some of the best riding of my life. When I am not leading tours I continue exploring so there is always a new ride for returning guests and the friendliness and enthusiasm of the people who remember their grandparents using the trails I am rediscovering has been heart warming.
The scenery is spectacular, the horses enchanting and there is a warm welcome wherever we go. COME AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELVES!

A few words from Ride Andes
Karen joined me on several of my riding trips in South America and we became great friends. Then, when I went to visit shortly after her move to Andalucia the area struck me as an amazing place to ride. I realized that Karen had been hatching a plot to lead riding tours and it was such a pleasure to help her set up and join her on the first ‘guinea pig’ rides in September 2008..I return at least once a year now and I STILL CANNOT GET OVER THE UNIQUENESS OF SITTING ON A HORSE AND LOOKING OUT OVER A SEA TO ANOTHER CONTINENT!
