1300 km through Spain and Portugal

From Frankfurt (am Main), the first stop was Santiago de Compostela. From there, the journey continued to the north of Portugal. Afterwards, we took the country road back to Extremadura in Spain - a relatively remote area with many forests and nature reserves. After a few days near the Embalse de Orellana y Sierra de Pela, the autonomous region of Andalusia was the next destination. We travelled along acorn groves and high into the mountains. Finally, we went to the area around Seville and to Seville itself. The city is considered the cradle of flamenco and is the capital of Andalusia.

The journey led 1300km across Spain and Portugal to the equestrian equipment manufacturers.
