Full description
If the castle is impressive from below, imagine touring it on the back of a horse!
Enjoy a 1-hour guided experience riding through the natural environment of Loarre Castle, with unique views during the route, photos and video included, and an aperitif waiting for you at the end to close the plan in the best way.
What we will do
We will meet 10 minutes before the agreed time at the equestrian centre in Loarre, Huesca. On arrival, our guide will welcome us and explain how the activity will take place.
Before riding, we will receive a brief safety briefing of between 5 and 10 minutes where we will learn the basic rules of the ride. Then, we will start our 1 hour horseback ride, leaving from the riding school and gradually ascending towards the west side of Loarre Castle. As we go on, the silhouette of the castle imposes itself on the landscape, revealing why it is considered the best preserved Romanesque castle in Europe and one of the most complete fortresses of the 11th century.
When we reach the highest point, we will enjoy spectacular views of the walls and the landscape that opens up at our feet. Then, we will start the descent back to the equestrian centre through the east side of the castle, completing a circular route, quiet and very visual, perfect to enjoy this unique place without rushing.
Back at the horse-riding centre, an aperitif awaits us, with a board of cold meats and cheese accompanied by a soft drink, beer or water, putting the finishing touch to the experience.
