You will be welcomed by the owners to share their rural finca, a sheep farm situated between two lakes in Extremadura. Each tent is fully equipped and there is a swimming pool on site.

If you and your family enjoy the great outdoors, and your kids would love the opportunity to collect eggs from the chickens, hunt for lizards in the undergrowth and help out with the sheep then this is the holiday for you.

Horse riding holidays in Spain from £450 for a 3 night package; restored Manor House with infinity pool | Contijo Uribe

Cortijo Uribe offer horse riding holidays in the heart of Andalucia. Here you will stay in a beautifully restored manor house set in acres of olive groves and pine forests. There is so much to do here from taking riding lessons to going on a hack with all ages and abilities catered for. When you are not riding or for the non-riders there are plenty of walking and cycling opportunities on the doorstep. There is also an infinity pool with shady gazebos to be enjoyed, a spot of archery or maybe a cookery lesson to try. There is a children’s play area too.

What I love about Cortijo Uribe is it’s charitable trust status with all its profits being ploughed back into charitable causes. Together with a strong responsible tourism ethic, they also rescue local abandoned animals. You will be guaranteed an authentic Andalucian stay meeting local people, and where possible attending the local Ferias and celebrations.

Different packages are available and holidays can be tailored to suit requirements. A 3 night/four day horse riding package costs £450 between April and October.  Just a 40 minute drive from Malaga Airport.

Quirky Easter accommodation: stay in an elephant trainer wagon, Casa del Mundo Alicante | Canopy & Stars

Circus & Oliphant - Canopy & Stars

This accommodation is quirky yet beautiful.  I’m not sure there are many places where you can stay in a wagon that used to belong to an elephant trainer complete with the metal chains on the side to which the elephants were chained to! Casa del Mundo is close to the beaches of the Costa Blanca and hosts a variety of glamping style accommodations. This post is featuring ‘Circus’ and ‘Oliphant’ – two wagons situated side by side which share a ‘summer kitchen’ and a bathroom.

Close by are nature parks, you can learn to horse ride nearby, make mosaics on site, or simply let your children make friends with other children. There is an on-site restaurant with international cuisine, bars and restaurants in the surrounding villages and Alicante is 30 minutes away. There are cards, board games and a library with a real fireplace, a 12m x 5m fenced swimming pool, petenque, basketball and hiking trails leading straight from Casa del Mundo into the hills.

An Easter break starting on the 8 April will cost £67 for 1 night, £134 for 2 nights, £201 for 3 nights, £268 for 4 nights, £335 for 5 nights and so on…
