Horse hire for 8km

Time of past OR future Camino

I'd like to tell people about hiring a horse from Las Herrerías to O Cebreiro - it was just amazing fun. For 35€ we rode 8km along the Way (2 hours), a couple of us hadn't been on a horse much before but that wasn't a problem.

Our guide took very good care of us - he even phoned our albergue to make sure we had a bed. It was a very special experience - and as there's no point recommending it to my Camino friends now we are past that part, I'd like to recommend it to you, the Camino friends I haven't met yet :)
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Thanks for the info...my Camino partner is a horsewoman to the bone and I imagine we will be riding that part up the hill!
 
Thank you. I put the info in my notes for the Camino. We enjoy horseback riding and this will be a treat.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Are there any other horses for hire on the Frances? My pard will want to know so she can ride and leave me in the dust, literally!!!

Thanks ahead of time...o_O
