” Another lovely trail. Perfect hosts, vey attentive and always trying to give you the best holiday ever. The trail had a very beautiful countryside, even in the rain! The stays in the ‘Quintas’ felt like being part of the family. I had a good time and totally enjoyed it. Thank you. The afternoons by the pool or fireside together with the music were really relaxing after a good riding day.”

“Une vrai “bouffe d’oxygène” avec les oliviers et chênes à perte de vue. Des chevaux gentils et aussi capables de bonnes sensations ou galop. Merci à nôtre guide Miguel pour sa énergie et son enthousiasme.”

“Clear blue skies, sunshine, miles of beautiful meadows filled with a blanket of colorful wild flowers, excellent horses, food and company! The highlight was my horse taking himself for a swim! A huge thank to Miguel, Wenda and everyone else for looking after us so well. PS. This should be called a Gourmet Food Riding Holiday!!!”

“I had dreamed since long to ride a Lusitanian horse in Alentejo. This is now done. I appreciated to get close to Alentejo “heart” thanks to the accommodation in genuine homes! The visit of the Coudelaria is a great moment also, despite the “crisis” that seems to reach also the wonderful Alter Real horses breeding.”

“The Raides Vicentinos organization was exceptional with excellent horses, accommodations and food. Great effort was made to ensure we enjoyed local festivals and events, which added greatly to the overall experience. And, as a seasoned rider I was extremely happy with the pace as we rode through the beautiful countryside and villages.”
