Horseback riding in Portugal - Dolphin Coast Ride with Hidden Trails

The Costa Azul, also know as the Blue Coast, encompasses the southern stretch of Portugal's west coast. It is as long and beautiful as the Algarve (Portugal's south coast), but while the Algarve is overcrowded with tourists, one finds deserted beaches and pristine countryside all along the west coast, even during the summer months. The area around the mouth of the river Rio Sado is a sanctuary of 57,500 acres. Dolphins play in the mouth of the river. From here on south you'll find 36 miles of deserted beaches only interrupted by lagoons and little fishing villages.
Discover this jewel on the back of a first class Lusitano. Ride from the lush and green coastal mountains of Grandola, overgrown with pine and cork-oak forests, to the inviting beaches of turquoise waters. Your accommodation for three nights will be in an historic Puosada, then enjoy 2 nights in the heart of the country and a further 2 nights near the coastline by the Lagoon of Santo Andre.
