Day 1: Costa Brava

Arrival in Barcelona or Girona and transfer to our starting point, a cozy family-run hotel near the Mediterranean Sea. At dinner, we meet our guide who explains everything about the trail ride and the next few days.

Day 2: Riding to the sea

The horses are already eagerly awaiting us in a field near the hotel. We set off for the coast. The view of the turquoise-blue shimmering Mediterranean Sea is magnificent. In a picturesque bay of the Wild Coast, we reach the beach, bathe in fresh sea water and taste the salt on our skin!

After the lunch break, our Andalusians brilliantly master the coastal mountains of Rodas. Here, the Pyrenees submerge into the sea. We make our way out of the mountains into the flat hinterland, an ancient cultural landscape consisting of olive trees and vineyards. The light is impressive with this fascinating scenery. Satisfied with the impressions of the first day, we approach a winery village where we spend the night in a former farmhouse. The tasteful furnishings and the lovely patio provide a beautiful ambience.

Day 3: Ice river “La Muga“

In the morning, we ride down to the "ice stream" La Muga. The fresh water invites us to stop for a swim. With its extremely cold temperature, it is a welcome refreshment from the heat. The bubbling waterfall also provides a wonderful setting for our picnic lunch.

We follow the cool stream at a lively pace. We leave La Muga behind. Highly motivated, our faithful four-legged friends take us higher into the mountains again. We spend the night in an impressive former monastery where a guesthouse was built more than 300 years ago.

Day 4: Swimming with the horses

Today, we want to swim in the lake! We wander through the beautiful Mediterranean mountain landscape. The cork oak forests spread a silvery shimmering light. Soon we have reached the swimming place and a dream comes true. We swim with the horses!

After a picnic and a siesta, we ride back to the monastery situated on a small hill. The view over the lake is magnificent.

Day 5: Trail ride into the Pyrenees

This morning, we start early! With the first sunlight, we dive deep into a shady mixed forest at the Catalan foothills of the Pyrenees. Our Spanish horses steadily and confidently climb over a pass, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the towering Pyrenean peaks.

In a secluded valley, a small mountain stream gently babbles. It is time for a swim! A leap into the glistening pool refreshes us, and afterward, the sun-warmed rocks, heated by the Mediterranean sun, provide the perfect spot to dry off. An ideal picnic place!

In the afternoon, we leave the shady forest behind. Picking up the pace, we continue our ride and eventually reach a medieval village that has served as a backdrop for historical films. We end the evening with a delicious meal at a local restaurant.

Day 6: Welcome to the Catalan jungle

On the last day, our horses head home! We ride along solitary trails through dense holm oak and pine forests, surrounded by a calming silence. Deep in the woods, we come across tropical vegetation reminiscent of a jungle—almost like a scene from Costa Rica. Our lunch spot is a hidden waterfall. We take a refreshing dip in the cool water before enjoying our picnic and siesta.

We saddle up our loyal Andalusians once more. At a lively pace, we make our way back to the Panorama-Trails riding center, where our horses are eagerly awaited by their friends.

For our final night, we settle into a cozy rural stone house. Over a delicious meal and a glass of good wine, we reflect on the unforgettable moments of this incredible trail.

Day 7: ¡Hasta la vista Catalonia!

After breakfast, transfer to the airports or continue to another trail.
