Picnic rides: a feast in the open air

For those seeking a tranquil yet memorable experience, horseback riding with a picnic is the perfect option.

The fresh air, the sound of hooves on the ground, and the connection with nature will make you feel free, whole, and at peace. No matter how many times you experience it, each moment will be special.

Return to the perfect retreat

After a day filled with emotions, you’ll return to Cortijo del Arte, where a cozy and relaxing atmosphere awaits you. The cortijo, with its traditional architecture and history as a former 16th-century monastery, wraps you in a warm embrace.

At night, you can enjoy dinner at the El Museo restaurant, tasting traditional Andalusian dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients. From refreshing gazpacho to oxtail stew or cod cooked in the region’s style, every bite is a tribute to Andalusia’s rich culinary heritage.

In the summer, if you’re looking for total relaxation, you can take a dip in the outdoor pool or sit on the terrace with a glass of wine, letting the day wind down at its own pace.
