Guests can choose from a multitude of accommodations at El Rancho de Ferrer

Once an abandoned village, El Ferrer was converted into an exclusive guest ranch, just ten minutes from the Mediterranean in the lower Alpujarras Mountains. Most of the original houses have been renovated, and each is its own accommodation with kitchen, living room and bedrooms. With the Sierra Nevadas as a backdrop, you'll ride on old mule trails, encountering the occasional Spanish donkey, soaring falcon and earthy fragrance of thyme crushed beneath the horses' feet. Rides may include a restaurant stop to sample traditional dishes and wines while the horses are watered. Count mostly on English tack, although Spanish and Western saddles are a possibility. Paired with your horse (by skill level and even mood), you may find yourself atop the cheeky Chappas or sweet Balou.
