EL ROCÍO VILLAGE
El RocÍo is a small village in the municipality of Almonte (in the province of Huelva) made up of small white houses that surround the hermitage of the Virgin of Rocio, where the statue of “the White Dove”, as she is known, resides. The connection between the pilgrimage and the horse has shaped the village to an extent that it is the ideal place for equestrian activities.
THE KING’S HUNTING GROUND. (COTO DEL REY)
The pine woods of Coto del Rey, between Aznalcazar and Villamanrique de la Condesa are a perfect place for equestrian routes.
RAYA REAL
Wide pathways of White sands between forests, in the municipality of Hinojos, with a palace as the horizon. It is an important zone for birds, and their song envelops you as you ride along.
EL ASPERILLO
The Asperillo Cliffs are a system of fossil dunes that extend over an area of 12 hectares of coast, between the towns of Matalascañas and Mazagon. It is a great place for horse riding.
THE BEACH
Doñana offers more than 30 km of gently sloping fine sand beach between the sea and the mobile dunes, along which a horse ride will introduce you to a great variety of crustaceans, molluscs, seaweed and birds at their best.
