I had a wonderful holiday riding the Mediterranean Trail. Each day brought a new adventure and the opportunity to enjoy the Catalan countryside aboard safe, well cared for horses.

Our guide Nacho and his assistant super Dani made the experience even more enjoyable, both are wonderful horsemen and a pleasure to be around. Nacho expertly matched riders to their mounts and despite the trails fast pace (~100 mikes in 5 days) there was never a time that I felt unsafe. Dani was a logistics genius always keeping one step ahead of us to ensure the horses night time accommodation were ready, our lunch picnics were flawless, and ensuring our luggage made it from point to point every day.

Riders should be prepared for long trots and canters every day on this ride, you will be rewarded with beautiful scenery that varies every day (bamboo lined paths, river crossings, pine forests, rice fields, mountains & beaches!), the ability to ride through many small villages, and delicious food and wine.

I went on this tour as a solo rider, but I have happily come away from the experience with a great group of new friends. I don't often return to the same location for holidays, but for Panorama Trails I will gladly make an exception.

The Mediterranean Trail ride was all I thought it would be and more. This was my first time taking a horseback holiday and Panorama Trails will be my forever vacation outfitter in Spain. The Mediterranean Trail ride is a 5 day roughly 100-mile loop through the Catalonia region of Spain. Nacho, our guide is an exceptional horseman and teacher who emphasizes safety and fun. He has a great personality and makes sure that each rider is matched to the horse that suits their ability for the ride. I've ridden my entire life and the horse Nacho selected for me was the perfect match.

The Panorama Trails support team was amazing too. Dani, Nacho's trail assistant was friendly and really a jack of all trades from moving our luggage, staging our lunch stops, helping with horses, and staging our horse layover locations was a logistical marvel.

Rudi, the owner of the company was also immediately responsive to our needs. One of my trail mates felt her horse was a bit too forward for her by the end of the day Rudi personally delivered a more suitable horse at our hotel location.

Again, I can't say enough great things about this company and I will definitely be back for the Wild Coast Pirates Trail, Fresh and Salt Water Trail, and the Mountain and Coast Outlaw Trail. The food, accommodations, horses, and staff are all top notch.

I would say this was the best horse trekking I ever did. It was extremely well organized, the horses were very forward-going and responsive with soft gaits. I loved both horses I rode: Gitano and huge Vistoso. We also were spoiled with the beautiful landscape of Cap de Creus on our Pirate Coastal Trail and of course with great food (the black Paella at Cadaqués is a Must!). Also the limonada Catalan (Cava) and Manel’s nice picnics and table decorations were very well appreciated by the entire group. And a huge thank you to our great guide Rudi! Vamos galoppe otra vez? !!!

The rides were great! Especially the canter ? on the racetrack left a lasting impression on me and my children. Many thanks to Corinna, who guided us through the beautiful landscape of Catalonia. We will definitely come back and are thinking about joining one of the week-long trails this summer.
