ST JAMES'S WAY ON HORSEBACK

The Way of Saint James, in Spain know as Camino de Santiago, is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are said to be buried. The "French" way also has been travelled thousands of years before, by adventures and mythicals, all following the route of the Milky Way to Finisterre, "the end of the world". The route is declared as the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe, and also named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.

Riding you can enjoy fantastic landscapes, historical monuments and a great ambient. The horse is not only a manner of transport, it gets to be a good companion.

Our horse ride to Santiago the Compostela starts in Rabanal del Camino, located in the "French way" about 240 km from Santiago de Compostela. We will usually ride 6 hours, about 30 km, a day, divided in 2 stages, and we will reach Santiago the morning 9th day. There will be stops to view interesting places and monuments. The nights takes place in rural houses/hotels.

Two guides will accompanian you, one riding the way and the other with a supporting car. Our horses are perfect for long trails. They are calm and easy to manage but quick and with temper. You don't need to be an expert horseman, but you do need some experience with trail-riding. Groups of 4-5 persons.

We also offers riding short stages of the pilgrim way. These are also fit for beginners.
