You will stay in a family house with an Andalusian country style. The big Finca has a shared dining and living area and some individual apartments or rooms. The family, team, and guests meet, eat, and exchange in the dining room, from where you can reach the common garden to take in the sun, enjoy a sunny breakfast, and just read under a shadow. There are different styles of accommodation available, depending on the number of persons; there are double or individual rooms with a private bathroom, also, there is a private apartment fully equipped for groups or families. The rooms have a terrace with incredible views.
Program
The nature park is what makes this week very special, as well as the ocean, views, fresh air, silence, pure nature, free animals, (optional yoga session classes, when it is available), Andalusian family ambiance, the incredible beaches, the food. And of course, the incredible horses, being with them is already a present, and yoga and meditation, to make your holidays unique to discover more of yourself.
Do you need a relaxed week out of your routine? Then this is your place. Have an unforgettable week in Andalusia. The horse riding activity can be in the morning or afternoon, depending on climate and guide availability. Experienced riders are grouped in the morning time. In the afternoon, like 6:00 p.m., for beginners. If possible for the guides, sometimes they can do both in the morning.
Horses
They join in equilibrium and harmony because they live freely in the park, so they are not nervous about going out. Aventuras del Sur can find a horse for each level of riding experience. Horses are Andalusian, for the most part, (also two with some Arabic, for more advanced, one-quarter miller), around 20 horses for riding, but they also have always foals, mares with the bebes, some ponies, they do not ride but live here in the park.
All animals, theirs or other neighbors, horses, cows, bulls, donkeys, and mules are living free in the park, so you will see animals everywhere. Horses have their own life outdoors, as a family and team, so they have their lider, and have a life in the park, free. They come on their own to see if there are riders, and after riding they get free again. Horses have an excellent life, and it shows on every outing, you will see for yourself how good they are.
Normally the people who visit them understand horses and other cultures, more natural life, very well, they respect the guides, they understand that you cannot gallop or go fast at all times (if it is when it is convenient to do it and the conditions allow it, almost every day there will be a gallop on the horse trail ride), they enjoy the natural park and all the places that they will be discovered during the week.
If you are an experienced rider, (medium or advanced level), the rides will have more adventure, maybe swimming with the horses one day, also galloping in the morning, when the beaches are tranquil and empty still, enjoying the ocean views, Africa front of you, and nature everywhere. If you are a beginner, the guide will show you how to gain confidence, get some riding knowledge, and ride in the incredible nature park.

If you have to describe him, he is a wise or whispered horseman, is a guide more than an instructor, and is happy to help and assist you if you come for beginners' rides or explain to you about the park.
