The Pirates Trail is a spectacular ride along the coast which combines steep cliffs, hidden coves, and lovely beaches in an unforgettable top-class riding experience. Every day this marvelous trail leads us through the sensational Mediterranean landscape along the Costa Brava.
History
The gilded age of piracy along the Costa Brava was between the 14th and 17th centuries. One of the most notorious pirates was Barbarossa Khair ad Din (red beard), a Turkish pirate. Along the wild coast he attacked small seaside villages, stole spices, wine, and ceramics, and ran an oppressive slave trade. To forewarn against pirate attacks forts and Moorish towers were built along the coast.
Traditional piracy is surely part of the past, but this beautiful trail ride allows us to discover the wild coast on horseback.
Our "coastal trail ride by the sea" is a paradise for sportive riders, who like to combine adventurous riding through pristine nature with relaxing hours on fine sandy beaches and in lonely coves.
We were out with Nikki last week, and you really made us so happy with that. She completely adapted to us and shared so much about the surroundings, which was wonderful, especially when you’re in such a beautiful corner of the world. The horses you picked for us were just perfect...

We had some bad luck with the weather but I believe Panorama Trails came up with the best possible solutions for alternative routes, accommodation...
