Rancho Grande Horse Riding and BBQ

Rancho Grande BBQ Night Reviews:

  Picked up by a mini van with Ranch Grande on it so it was easy to spot. Pick up point was easy to find and close to hotel. After picking up other people on route, we arrived at the ranch and offered Sangria or Fanta. It was a bit chaotic as we were unsure what was going on as there was a group leaving and lots of people other people standing around as well. This experience is made up of lots of other groups arriving in mini buses. Eventually we were split into language groups and they then explained how the evening would go - which was helpful. The riding split into those who could ride, beginners and those who wanted to do the wagon journey. We were given hair nets to put on under the helmets (which I thought was very good). The ride lasted about an hour and was fun going around the ranch and through the trees. The staff rode along side encouraging you (beginners) so you felt safe. There was a singer afterwards and then food - which consisted of chicken skewer to start with followed by a huge jacket potato and some salad and then a piece of steak pork. It was a little slow bringing out food a bit at a time. But it was all cooked and tasty. Seconds available. Plenty of sangria on the table along with wine and Fanta. More singing and line dancing and flamenco dancer. This was followed by a fire dancer - who was very good and a horse act.

  This was a great evening. But take a jumper as it gets cold. We were picked up in a mini bus with Rancho Grande written on it so easy to spot and the pick up point was a 2 minute walk from our hotel and easy to find. The Horse riding was great and catered for those who have never been on a Horse to those who could trot, canter etc. Plus a wagon if you did not want to go on the horse ( a wild west experience). The food - basic, Lump of meat (pork steak) a huge jacket potato and chicken skewers and salad. All cooked very well and tasty. Plenty of free drink, sangria and Fanta plus you could purchase beer if you wanted. They do take photos I brought one for 12 euros but you are not pressured to do so. The shows were a good mix of flamenco, fire sticks and horse performances. There is a singer whilst you are waiting for the food after the horse riding and then some line dancing after the food before the other acts. The only let down was that it was a bit disorganised when we arrived and you were not sure where to go, especially as there was a big group getting ready to leave. But after they left the owners and ranch hands split us into language groups to tell us how the evening was going to go so we new what to expect.

  Fabulous two hour hack at Rancho Grande on the beautiful Furio. I have always wanted to ride an Andulucian, so for me a dream come true. Thank to the guys who helped me get on and off again, it's been 16 years since I last rode and at 66 years old I thought i would never ride again. The stag are very knowledgable and friendly, my guide was Lucas, I felt very safe. They Tailor the horse to your ability and just as importantly they really care about their very well trained horses. Will definately be back nextt year.

  We booked to have a horse riding with our children. It was a lovely well looked after ranch and the instructors spoke English. My son knows how to ride a horse and could gallop on his own The Rancho is great for kids since they have parrots, and other animals for the kids to see and feed. They also have a playground so children can play and have fun,
