Wild Coast Pirates Trail

The Barbarossa Pirates Trail is excellent for adventurous riders and hiking friends. The horses were as safe as mountain goats as they took us safely to the top of challenging steep mountain peaks. Here we enjoyed the fantastic views and treated the horses with a well-earned break. If we went up steeply , we also had to come down again steeply. So we dismounted and lead on the way down...

The Barbarossa Pirates Trail is excellent for adventurous riders and hiking friends. The horses were as safe as mountain goats as they took us safely to the top of challenging steep mountain peaks. Here we enjoyed the fantastic views and treated the horses with a well-earned break. If we went up steeply , we also had to come down again steeply. So we dismounted and lead on the way down. Here's my tip - leave the flat soled riding boots at home and pack your hiking shoes with a grip sole . Every day after descending into another bay, we enjoyed a carefully prepared picnic.
In the evening we revived ourselves in cozy hotels with very good typical Catalan food. We ended the days socializing with a glass of wine and we fell into bed. After four days of exciting and sometimes very steep climbing we reached the beach and stayed in a lovely little "finca". After a delicious meal we fell into bed. The next day we went for a gallop along the beach and then we rode to one of the typical coastal towns. This was the first "flat land" day without hiking . The next day we rode along the river Ter through endless orchards and forests with long canters on our way back home.
My conclusion: For me it was a fantastic experience - we were a great group and ... where Rudi is, there is a way!.
