Andalusia Horse Riding Guide

The beautiful Andalusian horses were the first to be introduced to the Americas by Christopher Colombus and his crew. These classic horses have been bred all over the world for their elegance and grace. Andalusia Spain is the homeland of these great creatures, and its gorgeous trails make it the perfect place to ride one of these world-renowned Andalusian horses.


Andalusia is home to the Costa de Luz, and riding bareback on an abandoned beach could not be more perfectly pastoral. The Costa de Luz offers many horseback riding opportunities up and down its sandy dunes and across its many empty beaches.

For being a coastal area, Andalusia's interior lands are surprisingly arid. Almeria has been the chosen location for the filming of many cowboy movies, due to the similarities to the Old West. It is in Almeria where you will find the most horseback riding resorts and ranches. Because the original Old West is no longer what it used to be, you may find your most authentic cowboy rides here in Spain.

Andalusia is the perfect spot for the classical or western rider, or even a curious beginner. Andalusia is filled with beautiful horses and wonderful opportunities for riding them.
