& Villages - Cadiz - Rota - Horse Route
Rota information
Route on horseback
DURATION: 1 hour approx.
DIFFICULTY: Low-Medium.
This is where the route dedicated especially to horse
lovers begins. Thanks to its level of difficulty,
it could be an ideal opportunity to ride for the first
time.
You begin by heading though the pine trees and beach
area accompanied by the guides from the horse hire
companies.
A good place to start is the Almadraba park situated
on the Av. de la Diputación opposite the feria
grounds.
Thus, you enter the pines of the Almadraba Park where
the Romeria of San Isidro is celebrated and where
you will often find fit enthusiasts training in one
of the park's many recreational installations.
As you draw closer to the coast, the pine trees begin
to shorten and give way to the dunes that border the
sands of the beach. As you rise above the dunes you
will be able to see the corals, packtes formed on
stones jammed one on top of another, dating from Arabic
times. It is not recommended that you approach the
corals on horseback as the surface is very slippery.
This area of the coastline is situated between the
Costilla beach to the left and the Punta Candor beach
to the right.
If you head right then you may be able to visit Ballena's
beautiful Punta Candor beach, depending on the time.
Carrying on this sense you will arrive at Chipiona,
but you must always pay attention to the return journey
time.
In any case, you can always pause whenever necessary
to take a drink or even a dip in the sea.
On your return trip you will see the bay of Rota and
Cádiz in the distance, ending up exactly where you
started.
