HORSEBACK RIDING FROM CLIFF TO BEACH

The Punta Aderci Reserve boasts the most beautiful cliffs in Abruzzo, offering views of the Trabocco and the crystal-clear waters of magical small bays and coves where you can enjoy the sea in a more "wild" way.

The landscapes resemble Ireland, and the beautiful beaches look like Australia, but we're in Vasto, a beautiful tourist town with the ancient village perched on the hill and long, equipped beaches at its feet.

We will explore this paradise on horseback, starting from the riding school, following the path to the sea until we admire the beautiful Trabocco on the sea, the cliff, and the wonderful Mottagrossa beach. We will return to the riding school through greenery and the scent of the sea.
