  • centre-based riding with two-day mini-trail
  • highly praised by previous customers
  • fun, sociable atmosphere
  • charming accommodation

That we have been offering this, our only centre-based riding holiday, for many years is testimony to how highly praised it is. The riding is fantastic, the horses well cared for and agile, and the climate benign – indeed, you can even ride at Can Jou in November, when the woods provide a wealth of colour.
The reason so many of our customers choose to return to Can Jou time and again is simple: holidays here are great fun. You couldn't wish for a friendlier atmosphere.
     
Alison Dalby, Customer Relations Team
Can Jou is located in the Alta Garrotxa, a wild and unspoiled area of craggy peaks, wooded mountains and flower-filled meadows between the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava. Each day’s ride lasts three to five hours and has been carefully thought out so as to show you the different 'faces' of this corner of Catalonia – meadows, forest and rolling plains – and to give you an introduction to the local culture and history. You will also get to sample many traditional regional dishes and wines over the course of the week. The highlight of the holiday comes towards the end of the week when you enjoy a two-day mini-trail.
