HORSE RIDING

Updated: Aug 30, 2021

HORSE RIDING - Melides Rides

🐴 Horseback riding on the paths through the dunes, on the beach by the sea and in the lagoon of Melides is something that will free you deeply. It is the contact with the great spaces, the purity of the air, the immense sky, the forest, the birds, the sea...in short, the call of nature.


🐎 Luís and his guides share this passion for horses and the surrounding nature with you in a simple, natural and pedagogical way. They are well groomed and very tame horses for this activity that so many seek.


🌅 It's not only the beauty of nature, but it's the contact with this sensitive and powerful animal at the same time that will leave you with unforgettable memories. The walks go to Melides Lagoon overlooking the pine forest, discovering new places and scents, with the sea and the dunes on the horizon and Melides beach.


🌊 You can't describe or photograph what you'll feel in this beautiful setting. In the forest or on the beach, by the sea or on a cliff, walking and experiencing a new feeling of luxury - all this you find in @passeiosmelides.
