Sea, desert and mountains

Arrival at Sotillo hotel (or Doña Pakyta hotel). At 8 p.m. welcome and briefing by guide.

Tabernas Natural Park In the footsteps of Clint Eastwood. In the heart of the Tabernas Desert, known as Spanish Hollywood, we will explore canyons once ridden by legends such as Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. The setting is reminiscent of Arizona and the Sonoran Desert in Mexico. In the 1960s, this place was the backdrop for the filming of famous spaghetti westerns.

Sierra Nevada Lugros - Camarate - Lugros After breakfast and a short 15 minute drive to the meeting point with the horses, we set off in the direction of Camarate. As we ascend, we follow easy paths and trails lined by holm oak and olive groves. These are the same paths that cows and bulls use to reach the high mountain pastures. By midday we will have reached an altitude of 2,000 metres. In a place with wide meadows and trees of Atlantic origin, we will enjoy the picnic that we carry in our saddlebags. After lunch we will start the descent to Lugros, say goodbye to our horses and back to the village of Cogollos de Guadix. and travel by car to Guadix. In the evening we will take you to dinner in a refined culinary restaurant of Guadix where you can enjoy a real flamenco show, an authentic experience far from the usual tourist offerings.

Cabo de Gata Natural Park. San José - Mónsul - San José. The beaches of Indiana Jones. Assignment and preparation of the horses after breakfast, at 9.30 a.m., in our stables in San José (5 minutes walk from the hotel). Start of the trail head towards the beaches of Genoveses, Mónsul and Media Luna where scenes from "Indiana Jones", "Lawrence of Arabia" and "For a Fistful of Dollars" were filmed. After a picnic lunch, riders return to San José through the Tesorillo Valley.

Tabernas Natural Park The oasis where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed. Heading south, we follow the canyon of the oasis, with its surprisingly small, scattered trickles of water, until we reach the oasis where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed. From there we head to Fort Bravo to gallop through its streets and watch the sheriff catch the bandits who robbed the bank. Picnic inside Fort Bravo, next to the Mexican town. After the picnic, we drive by car to Sierra Nevada, to the Reina Aixa hotel, in a journey of more or less 1 hour.

Thank you and see you soon! Breakfast and departure from the hotel 12 noon at the latest.

Cabo de Gata Natural Park San José - Los Escullos - San José The Pirates' Path. From San José we head towards Los Escullos, following a wide path that runs along the coast, offering impressive panoramic views of the sea and secluded coves with crystal-clear waters. As you progress, you will come across small forts and watchtowers, which in the past were used to warn of possible incursions by Genovese, Barbary or Turkish pirates. Back in San José, we will have paella at around 3 p.m. After lunch, we will take you by car to Tabernas in a journey of more or less 1 hour.

Sierra Nevada Lugros - Shepherds' Path - La Pantaneta - Lugros. At 9.30 a.m., after breakfast, we will take you to the Cabacci stables in Sierra Nevada, located in Lugros, 15 minutes from the hotel. We will set off towards "La Pantaneta", a small lagoon surrounded by mountains and formed by the meltwater of the Sierra Nevada, following an easy trail surrounded by dense pine forests. You will be afforded fantastic views of the high plateau at an altitude of 1.200 meters. After a home-cooked picnic lunch next to La Pantaneta, where the more adventurous can go for a swim, we return to Lugros and back to Reina Aixa hotel.
