El Ranchito Equestrian Club offers a complete immersion in Andalusian culture with Andalusian Night, an experience combining the Ritmo a Caballo equestrian show, dinner with drinks included and a live flamenco performance.

The evening begins at El Ranchito with an equestrian ballet featuring around twenty horses, riders and horsewomen. The choreographies are inspired by classical dressage, traditional Spanish country riding and haute école exercises, accompanied by Spanish music and traditional Andalusian costumes.

During the show, audiences can enjoy performances such as Equestrian Magic, Fairground Fantasy, A Horsewoman’s Dream and Sevillanas on Horseback, as well as in-hand work and demonstrations inspired by traditional activities from the Andalusian countryside.

The movements performed include passage, piaffe, caprioles, courbettes and the Spanish walk.

After the equestrian exhibition, guests will travel to a restaurant located just a few minutes from the riding centre. There, they will enjoy dinner accompanied by traditional Andalusian music, followed by a live flamenco show lasting approximately one hour.
