SAN MIGUEL DE SALINAS HORSE FIELD GUIDE
Saddle Up for La Pedrera: A Quiet Horseback Passage Above Torrevieja’s Pink Lake
A concise field guide to Pura Aventura’s horseback rides to La Pedrera Lake — options for a full scenic outing or a 30-minute viewpoint tour and the practical facts you need to plan it.
Saddle Up for La Pedrera: A Quiet Horseback Passage Above Torrevieja’s Pink Lake.
On horseback you cross the low, sun-baked countryside outside Torrevieja to reach La Pedrera Lake, trading the city’s bustle for open sky and wide water. Pura Aventura offers a choice of a scenic ride that visits the lake and its surrounding views or a shorter 30-minute outing that climbs to a panoramic viewpoint over the lake and Torrevieja’s rolling countryside; all rides use well-trained horses suited to enjoy the landscape at a steady pace.
