Transhumance Trails in Extremadura
Central Spain Spain

On this unique tour, you will have the opportunity to become the guardians of the ancestral tradition of the transhumance. You will ride from Extremadura to the Gredos Mountains in spring (North Transhumance ride) and from Gredos to Extremadura in autumn (South Transhumance ride).

Following the Cañadas Reales and crossing different regions you will ride a long distance from the winter pastures in Extremadura to the summer pastures in Gredos Mountains (or the other way around in Fall).
Spain is crossed by old cattle drove routes that served the pastoral economies of yesteryear. In Spain, these trails are called “Cañadas Reales”. They are still used by cattlemen who practice transhumance, spending summer in the mountains with their cattle and returning each autumn to the winter pastures, lowlands.

This transhumance on horseback covers 200 km from Trujillo to Navarredonda de Gredos (or vice versa), crossing 3 different region in Spain (Extremadura, Castilla la Mancha y Castilla y León).
