Spanish & Horseback riding in Sierra Nevada

Our students can participate in a horseback riding programme in Sierra Nevada (1 week / 3 afternoons). Through these «paseos y rutas», they are able to experience the impressive natural environment of the Sierra Nevada National Park. This protected area was declared a National Park in 1999 and, with its lakes and glaciers, is a region full of contrasts. It is divided into two main areas - one that forms the high ridge of mountains clearly marked by glacial action and with little developed vegetation and the Mediterranean mountain range of less severe peaks that abound with flora and fauna of all types. Here you will find the highest peaks on the Iberian Peninsula: Mulhacén (3,482 m) and Veleta (3,392 m). Over 60 species of birds live in Sierra Nevada, not only the typical giants of the high mountains like the golden eagle and the griffin vulture, but also mountain birds like the golden oriole and the hoopoe. The easiest mammals to spot are the wild mountain goats as they hop nimbly up and down the most incredible precipices, and more patient observers will see foxes, badgers, wild cats and a great variety of snakes and lizards.
