4-Day Expedition

The Lebaniego Way

Pilgrimage on horseback crossing impressive landscapes from the coast to the heart of the Picos de Europa.

A deep immersion in nature and history.

The Lebaniego Way is not just a route, it is a transformative experience. For 4 days we will ride through deep valleys, cross rivers with crystal clear waters and ascend mountains shrouded in fog to finally reach the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana.

This expedition is designed for riders with an adventurous spirit seeking to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the ancestral rhythm of the horse. We have purebred horses, accustomed to the Cantabrian topography, and a logistical support team to ensure your maximum comfort during the journey.
