Tierras de Al-Andalus - the lands of Andalucía - a 10 day endurance adventure - is the genius of José Manuel Soto. He is one of Spain's cherished singers, with a passion for life, a love of his land, an eye for adventure and a reverence for the horse. His dream, and his ability to put together a team of people capable of 'making it happen' gave us the opportunity to experience the beauty and variety of Andalucía on horseback. The trails were challenging and scenic, traversing historic sites, mountain passes, village streets, beautiful Atlantic beaches... We stayed in hotels nestled in historic towns, were hosted by different communities with their own styles and traditions. And the people of Andalucía are warm and friendly, passionate, quick to laugh and smile...Does it get any better?!
