Discover our trail riding holidays in Portugal’s Serra de Grandola, a region of unspoilt natural beauty looking over the Atlantic Ocean. Here in one small area you can enjoy the best of two worlds: the beauty of the coast and the tranquillity of the forests! This is an adventurous riding holiday with plenty of home comforts and an emphasis on fun, scenic rides, quality accommodation and, of course, delicious food. You are welcome to join us for a long weekend or a full week.

What to expect on the trail riding holidays

In Serra da Grandola you can experience a landscape and way of life that has remained largely untouched for centuries and feel a million miles from the concerns of day-to-day life!

The stables are located only 15 km from the golden, sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. They form part of a quinta (farming estate) that has been in the family since the 17th century so you can rest assured your hosts know the area well!

All the riding tours have been carefully planned to show you the best of this region. Each day you will get to explore a different trail. Some of the rides will take you up into the hills and forests of scented eucalyptus or pine or where the famous, ancient cork trees create a landscape which is at once uniquely Portuguese and timeless. On other days you will have the chance to ride on the beach or the by the gorgeous Melides coastal lagoon. On the week long holiday one of the most special moments is our sunrise ride along the dunes with just the sound of hoof beats and the ocean beyond.

All the routes can be adapted to your riding skills. The horses are well trained, steady and calm so you don’t have to be the world’s greatest rider to come but if you are then there are also lots of opportunities for canters!
