Discovering Ecija on horseback and horse-drawn carriages
A beautiful tour through the streets and squares of Ecija in horse-drawn carriages and trotting through the countryside surrounding the city on the back of a Spanish thoroughbred. Are you coming?
Ecija is known as the "City of horses". Its relationship to the equestrian world goes back decades. The exceptional conditions in the fields of Ecija make the city one of the main equestrian centres in Spain, the birthplace of ranches with purebread Spanish horses, thoroughbred Arab and Anglian renowned horses that have taken the name of Ecija around the world.
Consequently, Ecija offers visitors the chance to witness the world of horses in the perfect place, with experiences such as the one shown below which is undoubtedly oneof the best ways to explore both the countryside surrounding the city, and the streets, squares and most emblematic places in Ecija and therefore, together with Rafael Silva, from the Silva Horseriding Club, we would like to show you 2 beautiful experiences that you can enjoy in Ecija with the world of horses.
Horse riding routes
The countrysides surrounding Ecija are beautiful and one of the best ways to enjoy it is on the back of a beautiful Spanish thoroughbred, seeing the gorgeous landscapes around the city and experiencing nature and pure air.
The routes are adapted according to the time you have, so if you take a short break to Ecija and fancy going horse riding, you don't have to take up a whole day.
However, there are others who would prefer the opposite. Spend a full day. This turns it into a complete experience, with routes accompanied by a picnic in the heart of nature and others, for warmer summer nights, are done on horseback under a full moon! A great time that you have to do at least once.
Trip through Ecija in a horse-drawn carriage
If you're not into horse riding and don't really fancy it but you would still like to do something related with the equestrian world, you can see the city of Ecija in a horse-drawn carriage, with two beautiful Spanish purebreds, which will take you door to door of some of the most emblematic places in Ecija.
Imagine for a moment the experience of moving to the rhythm of the carriage along alleys like this one, looking at the city's towers, the whitewashed façades of the streets in the centre of Ecija, with the only sound being the clip-clop of the horses' hooves.
An unforgettable experience and even better than rides in horse-drawn carriages in places such as the capital of Seville, because here in Ecija, unlike the capital of Seville, the carriages take you down beautiful narrow streets that will leave you amazed.
