Singles Equestrian Vacations Itinerary: 1st day: You arrival in Barcelona or Girona and will be transfer to Cadques-Portlligat, the true homeland of Salvador Dali. This barren bay is the Dalianish countryside par excellence: salt stone coasts, grown with wind-resistant bushes near to the electronic-blue sea. In 1930 Dali settled here in a simple fisherman`s cottage. This ideal place is where you will begin your tour by a visit to Dali`s house. Afterwards you will be transfer to hotel and enjoy the evening meal with your guide and other riders. 2nd day: You start your journey through the natural reserve of the Cap de Creus, where the last line of the Pyrenees descend into the sea. You will ride along an old merchandise lane which winds its way through stony terrain, passing steep cliffs and clear-water bays, until you reach the fishing village of Port de la Selva. Once here you will stop for a picnic lunch and if you want to, you and your horse can go for a swim. Your overnight stay will be in the luxurious hotel Porto Christo and your evening meal will be enjoyed on the terrace. 3rd day: Today you and your horse will climb over the hills of Rodes to the fertile and mild plateaux of Emporda. Here among this splendid garden of overwhelming beauty you will take a break above a small lake. Then once again mount your steed and gallop through the moors of Aiguamolls to the medieval town of Castello de Empuries with its magnificent cathedral. You will stay overnight in the hotel in the centre. 4th day: This morning your horse will carry you speedily to the vicinity of Figueres, the main town of the old Emporda. You will bring your horse to a small house in the Mediterranean forest and strengthen yourself with a tasty picnic. Today you will have the opportunity to visit the main attraction of the Dali-route, the Theatre Museum Dali. You will also have the opportunity to take a walk through the old town where later the group will enjoy dinner in one of the local restaurants. Later that evening you will return to your forest home for the night. 5th day: From the plateau of the old Emporda you will sink into the magic of the Epordanet. With its rolling hills and harmonic, soft countryside you can see in the distacne hundred-year-old villages. These magical villages were built of honey-coloured stones with their narrow alleys, gardens and planted fields. Here amongst these villages you will feel the strong inheritance of their farming roots. Tonight you will stay in an old, catalan farmer`s house. 6th day: On this day you will visit the third chain in the Dali-trail, the castle of Pubol which is in the centre of the same-named village. Dali, because of a promise, gave this 14th century building to his wife Gala, as a present. The countryside of Pubol is a contrast to the wild coasts. Here you will climb to the chapel of the Angles to admire this hidden area of yellow, brown and green tones. Dali and Gala married in this pilgrim church on the 8th of August 1958. This magical place invites you to enjoy a picnic lunch. You will then head back for another evening at the farmer`s house. 7th day: Today you will ride across the River Ter, through a mild, hilly and pleasant landscape, until you reach your final destination of the riding stables of Mas Alba. 8th day: You will be transfered to Barcelona Airport or Girona Train Station where you will either be returning home or go on to your next destination. |
