This was a brilliant holiday and I can´t really fault anything. I would definitely recommend it for singles (like me) as everyone mixed and mingled really well. Everyone who worked at Can Jou was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and you get the feeling they actually enjoy their guests.
I did the mountains to the sea trail which is pretty strenuous, so moderate fitness level is a necessity!

A great time again. For me what really seems to make it is the group camaraderie, which we enjoyed so much the first year but were worried this wouldn't repeat this year but it did.
Mick is a very good host and his staff is excellent.

We are both getting back into riding after a long break, have never owned our own horses and the week gave us more confidence and definitely inspired us to carry on riding. Also enjoyed the social aspect of the holiday and meeting people from all over Europe who have a common interest.
Lovely, spacious bedrooms and liked the rustic feel of the whole place. Fantastic scenery and location. Good home-cooked food. I certainly didn’t lose any weight!

Wow! What a trail !!
If you are a confident rider with a sense of adventure this is definitely the ride for you.
I was amazed at the terrain covered during the 6 day trail- winding mountain roads, volcanic paths, "jungle" trails and occasional "extreme" riding up and down woodland tracks.
The scenery throughout was breathtaking and, even though it was misty, the climb up to the summit of Cabrera (the highest mountain on the trail) was well worth the effort.
While there were plenty of opportunities to sit back and enjoy the ride some physical effort was required on the part of the rider.
Every morning we groomed and tacked up our own horses and at times had to dismount and lead our horses, down narrow paths.
The horse I rode (Olga) suited my ability and requirements (as discussed on the Sunday with Mick) brilliantly I could not fail to be impressed by the whole set up at Can Jou and the horses "accommodation" on the nights they were away with us.
The riders accommodation at Can Jou and the other hotels en route is beautiful. There was no chance of going hungry as the food and wine throughout was plentiful and very tasty. On some days we carried our own picnic (complete with chocolate and wine) but the real treat was the cooked on site lunches provided by our wonderful driver Miquel!
Every day our guide made it clear what was expected and looked after us well for the week.
A fantastic holiday and amazing experience! I am coming back!

Expectations exceeded – a truly fantastic trip.
The horses are amazing - responsive, keen, fast!, excellent temperament, bullet-proof to everything ‘scary’ to other horses.
Can Jou is a 5* outfit – professional, fun, well organised, fabulous horses, amazing trails – it gets a tick in every category.
Brilliant holiday, will be back for more !!
