Riding in Las Alpujarras

Caballo Blanco Trekking Stables

On the lower slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range lies the area known as Las Alpujarras. Here with stunning views of the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea in the pure mountain air sits the stables of Caballo Blanco which means White Horse.

For novice riders or experienced hands they have horses suitable for all ages and stages of riding capability.

It's here I sat on a horse for the second time in my near half century and boy what a joy.

So engrossed in the views was I that I completely forgot my fear of horses (and heights). My youngest son and I were led while the older two boys and hubby walked their own horses.

Sarah and Ali were very friendly, thanks Ali who had to chaffeur us around in his 4x4 due to unexpected road repairs. We'll be back.

Sarah offers rides from an hour to treks of several days with outdoor camping or D,B&B accommodation along the way. Review Riding in Las Alpujarras with Caballo Blanco - visited 15/11/2009

We stayed just minutes down the mountain towards, yet above the town of Lanjarón in a peaceful little hillside nook with four units and the owners house. Have a look at Casa del Viento.
