If you want to get to know Granada in a different way and you haven't thought about how to do it yet, we suggest that you go horse riding through the Lecrín Valley, as well as the Sierra de Albuñuelas.
Riding a horse in a natural environment, surrounded by fresh air, with your partner or the people you want, will give you a peace and tranquillity that you will find in few places. Palmalí offers you different routes adapted to your riding level.
Rutas a Caballo Palmalí wants to show you our village and our region. Discover little by little the traces of our ancestors: Romans, Muslims and Nasrids, with their Aqueducts, Thermal Baths, Castles, Watchtowers, etc.
Immerse ourselves in the narrow gorges of its rivers and streams, letting ourselves be carried away by its crystalline waters. In its descents we will be enraptured by its beauty and enjoy like children in the water.
Let yourself get lost among the pine trees and forget about the noises and problems of everyday life, fill your lungs with pure air, delighting in the scents of aromatic plants and pine forests.
We have our own horses to ride and show you our mountains and from the top of the mountains you can contemplate our region and neighbouring villages.
We offer you a "local guide" to enjoy our village (Albuñuelas) and region (Valle de Lecrín) adapting to your physical conditions or preferences.
