We met our guide and his brother at the stable and once acquainted with the horses rode to the sea and back with them too. There was a truck following us as a back up. All in all it was about two hours. Don’t expect luxury but genuine people who want you to enjoy the ride.” (Reviewed at: 2024-01-03)
