Dehesa de Campoamor
As you drive South along the N332 past Cabo Roig and en route to Dehesa de CampoamHorse riding on the beaches of the Costa Blancaor you will see this place on your right and below road level. The best approach is to go to Campoamor beach and head West in the direction of Los Altos de Campoamor.
You can either ride out in the countryside or use the indoor school. In either case you will be accompanied by the instructor. The cost is 15€ per hour for the indoor school and 18€ per hour to ride out.

Coming form Villamartin, after turning right onto the San Miguel road you will see an uphill track on your right. This is the entrance drive to the Stables.
There is also a bar/restaurant close by, although the opening hours can be somewhat erratic.
