On Thursday, a more advanced ride to Camarinal lighthouse, passing through Bolonia beach, forests with views on Zahara de Los Atunes, riding on a hidden beach, and returning to beach pasture.

Instructors
Francisco Trujillo
Francisco is the horse guide and founder. He is Spanish and was born in this village and is a good guide as he knows every little corner of this park. He learned to ride in his childhood and has his authentic own style. If you have to describe him, he is a wise or whispered horseman, is a guide more than an instructor, and is happy to help and assist you if you come for beginners' rides or explain to you about the park. The horses live free in the park, so they are relaxed and calm. There are 18 horses for different levels; he will choose the best friend-partner for you on this holiday.
Victor Trujillo
Victor is guiding the rides. Nice guide, who knows every little part of this Park, happy to help you and assist you during the rides, before and after too! Is a comprehensible person, he loves to explain to you the info or questions you have about the horses or the park. He is Spanish but he will try to understand and speak! If not, he has normally the help of the volunteer or the inter-change person who helps you with the horses and riders and speaks other languages, so do not worry about the language.
