• Horseback Riding in Spain Equitours offers a variety of well tested horseback riding vacations in beautiful parts of Spain which are rich in history. Spain was the richest power in Europe during the years of the expulsion of the Moors and the conquest of Spanish America. The wealth of Mexico and Peru flowed back across the Atlantic. It was a period when art and architecture flourished and much remains of this rich cultural history, both Spanish and Moorish. This is a large country by European standards with tremendous geographic and cultural diversity, ranging from the snowcapped mountains of the Pyrenees to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. The horse plays an enormously important part in history and culture here and the pure Spanish or Andalusian horse is very much prized. We have an excellent selection of horseback riding vacations in some of the most attractive parts of this many faceted land.
