The horseback guides of Almanzor Turismo Equestre are the picture of traditional Spain; they still wear wool cardigans and mauve berets and roll their own cigarettes at a gallop as mangy dogs snap at their horses’ hooves.
They make two regular excursions, a four-hour and an eight-hour, both of which depart from the Hostal Refugio de Gredos, three km (1.8 miles) west of Navarredonda in Barajas. The four-hour ride (35 Euro) departs at 10:30 am and again at 4 pm for the valley of the River Tormes, leading through pinewoods and gorges past a waterfall that marks the emergence of the River Alberche and with numerous miradors along the way.
The eight-hour journey (70 Euro with lunch) also leaves at 10:30 and includes the breathtaking ascent to the observation deck at the summit of La Mira, which allows one of the best panoramic views of the Gredos.
