- Teruel, La Rioja, and Palencia rank at the bottom
- For yet another year, horseback riding routes lead as one of the most practised adventure sports in Spain.
The adventure sports website with the most bookings in Spain, Yumping.com, has conducted a study on the consumption of Horseback Riding Routes by province in Spain during the past year.
Madrid and Barcelona top the list with 15.4% and 13.9% of total bookings, respectively. They are the only two provinces to exceed 10% of the national total.
They are followed by Valencia (7.57%), Huelva (7.09%), Seville, and Cádiz (6.04% and 5.53%, respectively). Alicante, Girona, Cantabria, and Málaga complete the top 10 (4.78%, 3.76%, 3.39%, and 2.3%).
Conversely, La Rioja and Palencia rank at the bottom with 0.03%, while Ourense, Soria, and Zamora record 0.06%. Ceuta, Melilla, and Teruel close the list—areas where no bookings were registered.
These figures also include pony rides for children, multi-day horseback routes, and beach rides—the most popular during summer along various coastal areas, typically in southern Spain.
