Who doesn't know the saying from childhood? But on a riding holiday, the familiar saying takes on a whole new meaning.

Spain is one of the Germans’ favourite holiday destinations and there is also a large selection of regions for riders with offers for holidays in the saddle. Horses and riding are firmly anchored in Spanish culture and especially in Andalusia, horses and their breeding are an integral part of daily life. Choosing the right one among the many offers on the Iberian Peninsula is not an easy decision. Nevertheless, there are still unknown gems to discover, which offer a varied program far away from the usual tourist paths.

The Briton George Scott, whose parents opened the Hotel Trasierra near Seville, wants to introduce us to a Spain that few travelers know, but offers beautiful and varied landscapes. With it you can explore the little-developed region of the Sierra Nevada in Andalusia. The horseback safari leads through fantastic mountain landscapes and shows a way of life in which traditions still determine daily life today. Breathtaking scenery, delicious food and an unforgettable togetherness included.

Editor’s Pick:

Visiting the Hotel Trasierra feels like having arrived at a good friend’s house. The ambience is imperfectly perfect, enchanted and full of soul. You quickly realize that this place is a project close to my heart. To be more precise, a project close to the heart of Charlotte Scott, a British designer who escaped the hustle and bustle of London with her husband and four children. What luck! Because without them, there would certainly be no fairy lights in the trees, a sea of flickering candles and legendary movie nights in the small chapel. The Londoner has managed to create a unique casual atmosphere, in the middle of orange plantations, where Laura Ashley meets plush and Mediterranean airiness. Of course, you will also be spoiled with culinary delights, with delicacies from the market and freshly harvested booty from their own beds.
