Program
Santiago, the owner of an award-winning rural hotel and stables, and Chris, an ex-professional triathlete and health and fitness coach, have come together to offer an Andalusian adventure with a mixture of horse trekking and cycling around the mountain ranges of Malaga. You will have the best of both worlds; with over 30 years of riding experience, nine horses, and unlimited Andalusian countryside to explore. Santiago and his team will guide you through some of the stunning Ardales mountain ranges.
On the last three days with Chris and his three top-level guides, they will be by your side and in vehicles both lead and rear for your safety and nutritional needs, guiding you around Malaga's least-known corners and stunning vistas. In Chris’s words, "This will be an experience of a lifetime with some adventure, challenges, and daily accomplishments all thrown in for good measure". It will also give you a chance to learn more about yourself all the while enjoying an active or fun holiday.
