The experience
Ride year-round on tame, easy-going horses while enjoying panoramic mountain views. The trail takes you through the little-explored paths of the Serra de Grândola, where centuries-old cork oak forest grows in its natural state. After the first October rains you’ll see a huge variety of mushrooms (we provide an illustrated brochure to identify them), with panoramic views over countryside and coast. The stables sit just 10 km from the wild sandy beaches of the Atlantic.
The experience finishes with a picnic and the wine tasting.
