Horse riding
Horse riding along the beach and its surroundings is an exciting experience in Urbanización Atlanterra. In the surrounding area, a short distance away, there are schools where you can learn to ride. Nearby, in the Dehesa de Montenmedio, international show jumping and dressage tournaments are held.
This area of Cadiz is closely linked to the world of horses: Jerez de la Frontera with its Royal School of Equestrian Art or the Horse Fair are examples, but we must not forget the horse races in Sanlúcar and those here on the beach, as well as the Polo tournaments in Sotogrande and the one organised by Atlanterra SA.

Feel Nature
If we add to this the golden sand of its beaches, the blue sea of the bay, the views of the mountains of the African coast, the cliffs of Barbate and in the distance the cape of Trafalgar, it is not surprising that those who know this place have been captivated.
From the Camarinal Lighthouse in the Atlanterra Urbanisation you can see part of the Strait of Gibraltar Natural Park, a maritime-terrestrial park, situated between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, it is home to a great natural wealth of great uniqueness:
Birds such as the white stork, the honey buzzard, the black kite, the griffon vulture, imperial eagles, blue-winged kites and birds from the African-European migrations in spring and autumn.
More than 1,900 species of marine flora and fauna have been counted in our waters, including loggerhead turtles, dolphins and porpoises.
GRAN PREMIO ATLANTERRA SA Horse Racing Grand Prix
In 2012 Atlanterra S.A. sponsored this Grand Prix to commemorate its 50th Anniversary and thus started a new local tradition of horse racing on the beach.
The Atlanterra Grand Prix was for some years a very interesting weekend offer. It coincided with the Ruta del Retinto Gastronómico at the end of September, which was the time of the year when the tides were most suitable for horse racing.
The races, for both professional and amateur jockeys, were held on an extensive beach. La alegría y el entusiasmo por este acontecimiento son evidentes en participantes y espectadores.
The joy and enthusiasm for this event is evident in participants and spectators alike. Today, although under a different patronage, these races are still held. The aesthetic image and the harmony of the horses running on the beach instil a sense of freedom and fusion with nature, especially in the last races that take place at sunset.
Arena Polo Tournament
It took place on the beach of Zahara de los Atunes, coinciding both events with the Gastronomic Retinto Route at the end of September.
Arena Polo is a variant of Polo played on a smaller field and with a different ball to the regulation one.
The Hurlingham Polo Association and the U.S. Polo Association have established their own rules for Arena Polo, which are also used in other countries.
This first edition of the Polo Arena Tournament turned out to be a great attraction where the obvious joy of a live match was a great enthusiasm among the spectators.
