Day 1: Cap de Creus Paradise Trail: Ride and experience Spain!
Arrival in Barcelona or Girona and transfer to our first accommodation, a typical Catalan stone house. The tranquil location in the beautiful Catalonian countryside invites us to relax. At dinner, we meet our new "riding friends" and our tour guide.
Day 2: The lovely hinterland of the Wild Coast
We depart from the Panorama-Trails stables on our four-legged companions. Over fields and through dense forests our horses carry us reliably into the lonely outback of the Wild Coast. In this beautiful setting a soothing calm and peacefulness surrounds us and we discover hidden natural stone villages. In a good mood, we arrive at an old oil mill that has an enchanting charm. A hearty meal has already been prepared for us. With every bite of the delicious tapas and every sip of the fine oils we are allowed to taste, we immerse ourselves deeper into the flavors of this unique region.
Well rested, we ride to our accommodation in the afternoon. After caring for our faithful horses, we round off the day with another tasty dinner.
Day 3: P.R.E. Andalusian Stud Farm
This morning the River Fluvià accompanies us towards the sea. At some points we cross the river safely and pass through beautiful Catalan villages on horseback with resounding hoof clatter. Under old cork trees our trail assistant has already laid the table for lunch! What a magnificent place to enjoy the delights!
Strengthened, we get back on the road. In the afternoon, surrounded by rice fields, we arrive at our impressive home for the night.
The oldest P.R.E. Stud of Catalonia (P.R.E. = Pure Spanish Breed).
At the stud, the friendly owner proudly presents his horses and we learn many interesting facts about the history of the P.R.E. horse. And who knows, maybe you will find your dream horse here!
Day 4: The Plains of the Empordà
We leave the Stud Farm through the rice fields and ride across the plainof Empordà to Castelló de Empúries with its mighty cathedral.
We cross the northern marsh area of the Aiguamolls with its diverse birdlife. The Mediterranean Pyrenees frame the vast plain like an amphitheatre.
Near Roses, a luxurious house with a swimming pool and spa offers us a pleasant place to stay.
Day 5: Cap de Creus
Like mountain goats, our "Andalusians" climb into the mountainous Cap de Creus. High up on the pass we will be rewarded with breath-taking panoramic views: the Gulf of Roses stretches out to the south, while the Golf del Lleó lies to the north.
As we ride along, herbs and flowers line the path, and occasional cork oak groves add a touch of Mediterranean charm. We then descend into a peaceful valley framed by rolling hills. Soon, we pass through a picturesque village, its winding alleys and traditional houses transporting us back in time. Here, a delicious lunch awaits at a popular restaurant known for its warm hospitality.
After this refreshing break, we continue through the stunning landscapes of the nature park, eventually arriving at the bustling fishing village of Port de la Selva. Our accommodation for the night is an elegant hotel.
The afternoon is free for us to explore — whether relaxing on the beach or wandering through the village’s charming streets.
Day 6: The magical land of the Wild Coast
An old trade route winds through rocky terrain in the Natural Park of Cap de Creus.
This is where the last foothills of the Pyrenees sink into the electric-blue sea.
The vivid colours of the sky and sea, the eroded rock formations and the bright bays with their deep canyons immerse us in a bizarre coastal landscape.
In a beautiful bay we have a picnic and go for a swim - what paradise!
We spend our last night at Cadaqués, a jewel of the Costa Brava. The whitewashed fishing village, with its old, winding streets is justly considered the most beautiful village on the Wild Coast.
The best "Paella" in the village completes our last evening of the eventful journey.
Day 7: Hasta la vista!
Transfer to Barcelona or Girona or extension to another trail.
