We saw storks nesting, flamingos, spoonbills, grebes, geese, different ducks, larks, swallows, stone chats and deer, rabbits, ground nesting bees, signs of other animals and he even spotted a lynx! We had lunch in Rocio, we explored, beach, marsh and forested areas and returned after sunset. One tip-if you have a car, take an Uber to the office as Seville has very few all day parking spots.”

Leave Seville for Centro Ecuestre El Acebuche, where Dani and his team match you with a calm Andalusian horse. After practice in the ring, ride through olive groves, almond and orange trees, hay fields, sunflowers, and pine woods, then brush your horse and share a drink.

“This was my favorite activity I’ve ever done on a trip!! Dani was so nice and hospitable and has done such an amazing job training his horses. I was nervous going into it, but seeing how well-trained the horses were really put my nerves at ease. The farm was beautiful as well, and the dogs and cats were adorable and so friendly as well. I can’t recommend this experience enough. My only note to those who do: STRETCH BEFOREHAND. If not, you will wake up SO SORE the next morning!”
