Nerja is an ideal location for horse riding as you can go either into the mountains and beautiful countryside around Nerja or down to the beaches. There are several riding stables in or near Nerja and they cater for all ages and levels of experience.
These are the riding schools that we know of. They are not recommendations as we haven't been riding with them ourselves, but if you do try them, please let us know how you get on or if you know of any other stables that you could recommend to us and other visitors to Nerja.
