Can you ride horses in Portugal?

Portugal is a country with a very diverse landscape and therefore ideal for horseback riding. Those who enjoy horseback riding know that the scenery is very important for the experience to be unforgettable.
We imagine ourselves riding on white sandy beaches with crystal clear blue sea, in pure nature and surrounded by the sound of the sea.
We also think of other idyllic landscapes, such as rice fields, immense dunes that lead to other breathtaking sceneries.

The Comporta region is in fact one of the best scenarios for this practice loved by many.
Comporta is a small village with its blue and white tones, more and more known each day and with good options for accommodation and gastronomy. It is a place where time stops, tranquility (even in the more crowded months like July and August) is predominant and everyone who enjoys the region leaves with the date set for the next visit.

Melides, the neighboring village also has options for this popular activity, and the scenery is beautiful!
