It was THE BEST holidays! We had so much laughter, amazing horses, tasty food and wine. It was a pleasure to meet... Miguel and see incredible Portugal nature in all the possible ways.
I would love to come to another trail to meet the Lusitanos and Miguel again!read more

Half of our tour group were all repeat clients from all over Europe. It’s not hard to figure out why…this trip... exceeded all expectations.
If a picture is worth a thousand words then the real thing is worth so many countless more. A photo can never explain the sound of the ocean waves crashing in your ear as you gallop down an endless beach as the sun rises. Nor does it relay the feel of the excitement in the horses when they know they get to go for a canter, I think they truly love their job. You also can’t capture the essence of riding through the eucalyptus forests and fields of wild chamomile in a photo…Like a spa but on horseback!
Upmost care and concern is given to the horses, they came first always. Horses were all well paired to their riders. Meals on the trail are modest but filling and tasty. The landscapes and the scenery are amazing, from rolling hills and farmland, to beaches and sand dunes, Cork and eucalyptus forests to cactus farms. Schedules and routes are very well planned so it’s a good balance of a riding and still down time for relaxing. Accommodations are clean, comfortable and charming, a very authentic Portuguese experience. Thank you to Miguel and crew for what was truly the vacation of a lifetime.

We had lovely accommodations, and the rides allowed for us to experience many different vistas in the Alentejo region of Portugal.
Thank you for a very memorable week!!!read more

i recommend absolutely everything as it is 5 star all the way. You will not go wrong. Migel is simply the best in every... way. I would choose to ride with him every chance i got. He is a true professional.
Dennis is also a GEM. Great cook and a huge help in every way. Not a bad card player either.
Raides Vicentinos is very fortunate to have them as employees.read more
