Question about horse and carriage from Carrion to Calzadilla

Gaith11 · Mar 19, 2022

Does anyone have any current information about the horse and carriage ride from Carrion to Callzadilla?
Is that still happening?
Thanks!

I've walked that stretch three times and I've never seen a horse and carriage.

I live in the NEIGHborhood and have not seen the flyers around this year. Will try to remember to ask Mariano at Bar Espana. He knows all this stuff.

It's passed me twice, but in peak season, July school holidays time.

From earlier years, I know that this service has been offered from the outskirts of Carrion (after the city centre), near an old church/monastery, starting at 8.30 AM. I have been tempted, as the walk ahead is a long and tiresome 17 kms without nothing. I think they charge you 15 Euros for the ride.

Yes, I did it in 2017 and it was €15. I felt bad for the horses, but he is assuring me in our conversation at the start of the video that they live a good life.

Thank you. I am wondering too. Will be there in early April.

Were you able to find out?

Mariano says YES, they're going to get it going this year again. But no one can say just when.

Okay. Thank you for checking. I will be through in early April so I will assume not then.

Thanks Rebekah - do you have any updates? I’m in Hontanas now and would like to take carriage if at all possible

I don't know, Aileen. When you get to Carrion, ask the bartender in Bar Espana. He will know.
