This mesmerising spectacle weaves together history and customs of our region’s deep-rooted equine tradition.

Exceptional skill shown by both horses and riders to create a show of traditional Andalucian horsemanship - All tickets are for an allocated seat so you don't have to queue early. The evening show means that its cooler for the horses and the view is good from any seat. The horses are beautifully turned out and the riders wear traditional costume so they look amazing. The skill of the riders and standard of horsemanship is breathtaking with each routine explained by the anouncer in multiple languages. The show is a mixture of classic dressage and moves by the horse to reflect the historic nature of herding animals in the traditional Andalucian way. The bond between horse and rider means that the rider can control the horse's movements with delicate pressure on reins and legs which takes years of training. Only a small number of horses are used for each performance so they are rotated each day and are clearly very well cared for. This show is a must for anyone who has riden or trained horses themselves to see what can be achieved with care, training and dedication.

Superb display of horsemanship - A wonderful show of beautifully trained horses and skilled riders. The choreographed displays of traditional movements by horse and rider were so impressive. Anyone who has ever trained or ridden a horse couldn't fail to be impressed by this show

Horsemanship mixed with flamenco… what’s not to love. - A wonderful evening or supreme horsemanship intertwined with flamenco dance. Great views. Misting over the sitting area to keep us cool. Great value.

A nice show. - The show is very beautiful. And whoever likes the world of horses will love it. Although I must say that we did not like the prohibition of taking photos or videos during the show.

Beautiful horses, average place, zero memories - Seriously beautiful horses, boring routines and music, you can’t take a photo for a memory, empty seats.. left disappointed. They could ask people to turn their flash off rather than a ban.. I can see many people trying to take photos and staff running around trying to stop them.. for what purpose? This place needs serious PR help.

Mal. Boring. - Regular. I'm pretty disappointed. I found the show boring and with little entertainment. Dancers with little grace. You can move on to training but more of the same horses and riders just hanging around. In short a very poor show at an excessive price.

A difficult watch ... - You’re shown into a smallish riding arena, where all the seats have good visibility so don’t pay for premium seats. The immaculately dressed horses and riders trot out to patriotic music. Clearly they are well trained and appear to enjoy the experience. It’s a very visual an entertaining show which the crowd appreciates. In the middle section, the trainers get the horses to stand on their back legs and prance about. I felt rather uncomfortable with this as it looked very unatural. I apprecaite and understand this represents many years of local tradition, but in this day and age, I'm not sure it should still constitue entertainment.
