Short Trail Description
Pyrenees riding tour: canyons, table mountains and volcanoes
The horse riding adventure "Trail of Bandits" is based on the biography of the famous "bandolero" Joan Sala Serrallonga, the Catalonian Robin Hood. In north-east Spain, the bandit Serrallonga wandered around the mountains of Guilleries and Garrotxa during the 17th century. The vast pathless area of woodland offered good hiding places to outlaws. Canyons, table mountains and volcanoes rise up in this wild landscape. Rivers, lakes and waterfalls provide pleasant refreshment. In the picturesque villages, there are still stories told about the gangs of thieves and the Catalan rebels. Today we find an incredible riding paradise where outlaws once hid. The trail of bandits is an extremely diversified horse riding trek through massive canyons, table mountains and volcanoes.

The fresh tender green of the deciduous trees in May and the autumnal colouring of the “Indian summer” in October and November make this extraordinary riding tour magical!
We had the most amazing week at the Bandit Trail, thanks to Rudi for being such a great and inclusive guide. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Each day, we encountered different landscapes. The picnic spots were always something special. Every time, we thought it couldn't get any better, but Rudi managed to surprise us again and again, exceeding our expectations.
The trail is a hidden gem for all adventurous riders.
