The experience
You start with a two-hour drive from Barcelona in an air-conditioned car or minivan to the Penedès region. Once you arrive at the equestrian setting, you meet your horse and set out on a 1.5-hour guided ride through the landscape: vineyards, rolling hills, and the open Catalan countryside. The guide leads the way and sets the pace. You're riding, not watching someone else ride.
After the ride, you come back to a peaceful countryside spot for a selection of pica pica tapas made with regional ingredients. It's a chance to sit, eat, and let the ride settle while you taste what the area produces. By 2:30 p.m. you're back in Barcelona, with the afternoon still ahead of you.
This is a private booking, so the group is yours alone: couples, families, friends, or small groups. The guide speaks English, Spanish, or German. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, as is bottled water during the day. Note that the price quoted is per person for a group of four. Smaller groups may incur a surcharge.
