Our horses do not transport us, they accompany us in our travels 28 years ago, we started the holidays on horseback and we remain firm in our ideas:
The Trails is not a competition. is to know the villages , the customs, the people, the landscape, the gastronomy of a place, accompanied by our horses.
To get good horses for Trails, we take care of our horses from an early age and we train them for holidays on horseback. without punishment, without spurs, many of them have nothing in the mouth, which allows our customers to discover “another type of relationship with the horse”.

environmental resources of interest, especially geological. Under
a sub-arid Mediterranean climate, with rainfall that does not
reach 250 mm annually and average temperatures above 17 ° C,
Mediterranean-type rambles have formed, the well-known “bad
lands” that shape grass steppes.
Its varied landscape and luminosity with more than 3,000
hours of sunshine per year, have made it possible that from
the 60s to the present day hundreds of films have been shot,
not only western (the most famous trilogy of the dollar with
Clint Eastwood), but also of Westerns, in the Tabernas desert
many films of other genres have been shot, among which are:
Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Cleopatra (1963), Patton (1970), Conan
the Barbarian (1982) or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
(1989).
