Donkey trekking holidaysSelf-guided donkey trekking and walking holidays in Spain

A truly special walking holiday... in the company of a docile donkey! Gentle walks through the Guadarrama National Park, only an hour away from Madrid. We have trekking tours for families and grown-ups.

A family adventure

  • Forget mobile phones, tablets and lazy children! Have fun together making lasting memories for your family.
  • Our well-behaved and sure-footed donkeys have saddle and bridle so that children can ride safely and panniers to carry your picnic!
  • Training is provided on how to look after your equine friend.
  • Luggage transfers are included in family trails. We take care of all the logistics while you just enjoy and fall in love with your furry friend!
  • The kids will walk happily for miles beside their donkey. They won't want to say goodbye!

A unique trek for grown-ups too.

  • We have a longer 8 day donkey trek for grown-ups.
  • A very special walking tour for those looking for a very different and memorable experience.
  • Let your loveable friend carry your load in panniers while you enjoy each walk along carefully hand-picked routes following ancient drove roads.
  • Experience is not needed as training is provided on how to look after your furry friend.

Leave the modern world behind!

  • A change of rhythm and perspective.
  • Walking in the Guadarraman National Park. Enjoy a new charming rural hotel each night.
  • CO2 neutral holidays: we will compensate the emissions of your accommodation, car transfers and luggage transport.

Support

  • We´ll train you on how to look after your donkey.
  • Local support in English 24/7.

Everything was really well organised, but the holiday felt so tailor-made and untouristy. Absolutely loved it and we want to adopt Galindo!
