Views over the Vallesa Natural Park from the lookout during a horseback ride near Paterna

If you’re looking for horseback riding in Paterna or La Cañada, you’re in exactly the right place: our stable is in La Cañada, the Paterna district right next to the Vallesa Natural Park, and every one of our rides starts here. No need to travel far — one of the best-preserved Mediterranean forests in the Valencia metropolitan area is just 15 minutes from the city centre.

La Vallesa: the green secret between Paterna and Riba-roja

The Vallesa Natural Park is part of the Túria Natural Park and stretches between La Cañada, San Antonio de Benagéber and Riba-roja. Pine forests, dirt trails, the Túria river and lookouts over the valley — the perfect scenery to discover on horseback, at the calm pace of a guided ride.

Riding here feels special: within five minutes you leave the streets of La Cañada behind and you’re deep in the forest, no traffic noise, surrounded by pines with the river below.
