THE BALEARICS - MAJORCA : HORSE RIDING HOLIDAYS...

Itinerary - Extensions - Horses and required riding level
Guiding - Accommodation - Dates and rates - More infos / booking


Everyone knows about the Balearics Island, if not in real, at least its reputation.
However another Majorca exists, more authentic and rural. It's precisely this one that we want to introduce to you. Culture of citrus fruits and water fruits, liquor with scrubland flavor et sun all year long, that's how we love Majorca.
The diffuse light that we find here has inspired so many artists mostly painter and photogrpahs that it would be difficult to name all of them.

It's from a finca both welcoming tourists and breeding Pure Spanish Breed horses that we start the visit of the true Majorca. Every evening you copme back to the finca to enjoy its comfortable accomodation.

To be as close to your requirements as possible we offer you three different but complementary programmes:
- Trail in the Natural Parks of Majorca.
- The Monasteries Route.

- Dressage lessons on Pure Spanish Breed Stallions.

- Training for beginners - NEW

This trails and dressage program can be combined for a longer stay and to discover the island more deeply. Also, you can combine one of this programme with our trails in Minorca, an other Balearics island.

CLIMATE
As on all islands, the wind is a very important element which could play a major role on temperature and climate. The mountain range (Tramuntana) which cross the Island of Mallorca from the south-west to the north-east on a hundred kilometers ensures that the central plain (biggest part of the island) is protected from the wind.
The temperatures start to increase in april and are very nice until october.
During summer times, the climate is hot and dry with average 25°C, and in winter, it's colder, but not under 12 to 13 °C.
Rains are not frequents and it generally rains during spring and autumn.


Formalities
Please check with your local ambassy.

 

Vaccination - health
No specific vaccinations. Don't forget your repatriation insurance.

We recommand to be update of usual vaccination, and especially tetanus..
A treatment against Malaria is also recommended. Please contact a doctor before departure.
