To have a fantastic day horse riding and seeing the beautiful landscape as well as the fascinating salt lakes please visit El Refugio
Dehesa de Campoamor is an excellent place to horse ride also, but a little difficult to find. I would ring the +34629905 3968 to get directions, Isabelle speaks excellent English so ask to speak to her.
Club Hipico is the nearest riding centre to the apartment. Coming from Villamartin Plaza pass the golf course and turn right onto the San Miguel road. You will see an uphill track on your right. This is the entrance drive to the Stables. Tel 34 965 97 15 37
If you have never dived before why not try this sport in the warm waters of the med. Try their website http://www.scubatribe.freeservers.com/ for more details.
