From this urbanization we will look for a very steep descent from where the so-called Eagle Trail begins. CONTROL POINT Nº1. Said descent given its inclination and the conditions of its firm, calcareous stone, makes it very elusive for horseshoes, so we will cross it off the beaten track, reassembling once we are already located on the Eagle trail. We will take the so-called Eagle Trail, heading North, until we enter the Las Herrerías Trail, with a semicircular layout.
At this crossing, CONTROL POINT No. 2 is established.

In the Huerta del Rey area we can make a rest stop to have an aperitif and drink the horses at the well-known Fuente del Valle. We can also see the Hermitage of San Abundio to whom the locals have great devotion, celebrating a popular pilgrimage in his honor on July 11. Here, CONTROL POINT No. 3 is established. From there we will head east along the Las Herrerías path towards the Park Visitors Center, until we reach the Cortijo San Bernardo. Up to this point we would take routes about 12 km approximately. Here we will establish CONTROL POINT Nº4.
At this point there is an intersection with the Guadalora Trail, where we would have the option of heading towards the Visitor Center, to continue later on the A-3151 road, which once past Hornachuelos, will take us to the farm, or take towards the West the path of the Eagle. We will continue along the path of Las Herrerías heading west. Continuing along the Las Herrerías trail, we will arrive at a natural viewpoint with excellent views, from where we can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the Guadalquivir Valley and the Andalusian countryside, and also make out the Sierra Nevada and the Sierras Subbéticas. From location we will be able to understand what was once the Sea of ​​Tethys, which covered the entire Guadalquivir basin, joining the Mediterranean. Upon reaching the junction with the Eagle Trail, take the Eagle Trail south again to Hornachuelos. On the way back we can either go back through the urbanization of Las Niñas viewpoint and Cañada Verde or go down Ctra. A-3151 to Las Cruces.

The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation, based in Jerez de la Frontera, is known worldwide for its exhibition «How Andalusian Horses Dance», a unique show that exhibits and summarizes, in an apparently natural way, all the work that since its foundation develops this institution.
19 EUR

In May 1973 His Majesty King Juan Carlos I, being Prince of Spain, presented Mr. Álvaro Domecq Romero with the «Golden Horse» in Jerez de la Frontera, the highest equestrian award that is granted annually in our country as recognition to the dedication and work done in favor of the horse world. For this reason, Álvaro Domecq presents for the first time his show «How Andalusian Horses Dance» from which the foundation of what is now the Entity begins. During a first stage, the School developed under the personal management of its creator. Later, the Ministry of Information and Tourism decides to take charge of it, buying the «Recreation of the Chains» from the Duke of Abrantes. The construction of a covered riding arena was then carried out, the work of the architect José Luís Picardo, with a capacity for 1,600 people and stables for 60 horses. In 1982 the Ministry handed over the responsibility for the management of the School to a Board of Trustees, under the protection of the Provincial Council of Cádiz, thus enhancing its national and international relaunch. The Board of Trustees signed in 1983 the purchase of the School. Its creator and founder, Mr. Álvaro Domecq Romero, obtains the position of Technical Director through a public contest. Since 1986 the Board of Trustees has exceeded the most optimistic objectives, finding and providing the Institution with the necessary resources, both financial and human and technical. It is in this same year when the School acquired the stable of D. Pedro Domecq de la Riva, made up of thirty-five Spanish horses and a showy collection of nineteen draft carriages with the corresponding garrisons, some of which date from 1730 , as well as saddle and embroidery for horses and drivers, all pieces of incalculable historical value. In June 1987, S. M. El Rey received the members of the Board of Trustees in a special audience at the Palacio de la Zarzuela, accepting the Presidency of Honor and granting the Entity the name of «Royal School». On October 15 of the same year SS. MM. The Kings Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía preside from the Palco de Honor del picadero the inaugural acts of the then Royal School. In July 2003, the former Royal School Board of Trustees became a Foundation, thereby obtaining solidity in its legal personality and being able to accept private contributions for its development. Although the show «How Andalusian Horses Dance» is, facing the outside, the maximum exponent of the work carried out at the School, there are other aspects that are as important or more for the Entity. Among them we would highlight being a cultural and social vehicle of the Equestrian Heritage; the selection of horses for promotion, the training of High School riders, the conservation and promotion of Dressage and Cowgirl; preserving the prestige of our horsemanship, our breed of Spanish horses, our traditions and our culture; and with their show, being hosts of the province of Cadiz and ambassadors of Spain abroad, making annual tours of various countries.
