Cortijo Los Lobos is a pioneering riding holiday centre with an ethical approach to horsemanship. 

Over the years we have helped many horses recover from sad past lives, welcoming them into our family herd. Here at Cortijo Los Lobos kindness is our ethos – we train using positive reinforcement, without the use of bits, whips or force of any kind.
You will love meeting our happy herd, watching them interact and riding them through our beautiful mountain scenery – bitless, barefoot and carefree!

We are proud to be featured in Sawday’s Special Places to Stay
