Advantages: Stunning views, well trained horses, friendly hosts, amazing value for money! Disadvantages: Very hot in summer! Take lots of suntan lotion!
I've been to Desert Riders Spain 4 times now and the place is absolutely fantastic. I love it! It's my special little getaway, my best find on the internet ever, and the place I go to relax, forget about work, soak up the sun and gallop thru the desert with the wind in my hair. I wish i could live there actually!
They are very reasonable on their prices compared to other companies. There are quite a few "adventure trekking" places springing up ...

Advantages: Great horses and people, lovely views, close to airport and village. Disadvantages: Very hot in August, definitely need a hire car.
...internet one day for a Horse Riding holiday in Spain. I found a couple, but none that really interested me. Then I went on ebay and just typed in "Horse Riding Spain". (I didnt want to spend ages on there!!!). There was a listing on there that interested me. The listing said they do riding in the mountains and desert. I didnt know Spain had a desert!
I had rode before in the costa del sol but although where I rode was very nice, I was only allowed ...

Advantages: Beautiful peaceful friendly people and great horse riding Disadvantages: A short break isn't long enough and you have to hire a car
We found the site on the internet www.desertridersspain.com and booked up for a short break - Both myself and my daughter ride but my wife preferred the peace and quite and was happy to read and relax in the sun.
The closest airport is Almeria but it would be feasible to fly in to Murcia or Alicante and drive down. If you can fly into Almeria it's an easy journey and only half an hour's drive. We used easy Jet but there are other airlines that ...

Advantages: So different from the usual riding holiday Disadvantages: Need a car to get there - or a horse - or a mule!
Little did I realise what a chance search for 'Riding' and 'Spain' would bring up on eBay. I wasn't disappointed! A love of horses, a wish to get away, get some sun, see Spain and its culture and be with great likeminded company would seem a tall order but Villa Roxmar fulfilled all my wishes and more. Within a day I would be away from it all, riding in the footsteps of Clint Eastwood, and living and breathing Spanish horses!
Whether taking a relaxing ...

Advantages: Beautiful surroundings, great people, lovely horses, relaxed atmosphere, great weather Disadvantages: having to come home!!
...had a good holiday.
The horse riding was spectacular - they obviously care a lot about their horses and this was shown in the way the horses responded to them. We were taught the basics in the school their and then were taken out into the desert. This was an incredible experience, being on horse back through the amazing surroundings!! We were relative beginers, with very little experience and were very quickly made to feel comfortable with the ...

Well what can we say, We wanted a short break away from the kids and get in some riding.
The Riding was fantastic, Set in a national park. No modern life to break the beauty of the landscape.
A word of warning to those who want to party hard. This is a place of absolute beauty and charm. There are no big hotels, night clubs or crowds of tourists looking for the footie match on a plasma screen.
We visited some local Tapa's Bars with Rob and Carole, ...
