Horse Riding Holiday Cheshire, UK</p><p>What with the so called “Credit Crunch” and our nation’s economic instability, people feel as if they have to look after all the money that they have, and even the notion of going on a luxury holiday may seem ridiculous, but have no fear, there is the perfect remedy to this irritating problem. Some of the world’s finest riding opportunities can be found right here at home in the UK, so whether you’re an experienced rider or you just think that it looks like fun, there is always a fantastic holiday available, at a very reasonable price. Cheshire is home to beautiful woodlands and scenic riding trails that run through some of the most picturesque scenery that the UK has to offer, and if that’s not enough,  Equestrian Escapes even offers a “Horses and Chocolate” package, in which you can ride to your hearts content and then indulge in heavenly home made truffles!</p><p>4. Trail ride and training in Spain</p><p>Epona Equestrian Centre, located just 20 minute from Seville airport, is based within the walls of a stunning 16th century Hacienda. Here you will find over 65 horses and ponies, a vast array of stables and horse arenas, as well as an outdoor swimming pool, comfortable bed rooms with all the modern facilities and an enormous scenic garden. The fantastic thing about this holiday is that it contains a huge variety of activities to take part in, such as hacking through wonderful olive groves and eucalyptus trees, watching fantastic riding demonstrations at The Royal Riding School in Jerez, as well as benefiting from the professional lessons that are available from the Epona staff. The difference between Epona and many other holiday resorts that offer horse riding is that Epona is designed for genuine equestrian enthusiast, not just tourists who fancy a bit of riding in the sun.</p><p>3. Ride Lusitano Horses in Portugal</p><p>If your idea of a perfect holiday is to sit back, relax and just enjoy the sun, then this holiday probably isn’t for you, but if you get your kicks from partaking in wonderful riding opportunities, in an area of extreme natural beauty, surrounded by likeminded people then you’ve found your perfect holiday! The equestrian centre is home to Nuno Baptista, a national horse riding judge, member of the Portugal national dressage team and head instructor at the centre, who will be available to give you pointers on your riding, and for the more adventurous of you, he can even teach you how to drive a traditional Portuguese horse carriage. If fast paced thrills aren’t your idea of a good time, then various scenic hacks through the beautiful Portuguese cork and olive trees that surround the equestrian centre are available. All of the horses here are pure bred Lusitanos, which means that they are bred and trained to the highest standard for your riding pleasure. The equestrian centre is also home to many fantastic facilities, including an indoor arena and an Olympic sized outdoor arena, so if you take your horse riding as seriously as you take your relaxing, then this is the perfect holiday for you!</p><p> </p><p>2. Horse Riding on the beach in Spain</p><p>Needless to say, riding a beautiful horse across a sunlit Spanish beach, sitting in a hugely comfortable traditional Spanish saddle is an experience that is very hard to top. Galloping across a beautiful, deserted Tarifa beach, with the salty air flowing through my horses’ mane is definitely an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Tarifa is a lovely little town, which is made wonderfully accessible by being located close to Malaga, Jerez and Gibraltar, and it is home to some of the finest riding and dining that Spain has to offer. The fact that large areas of Tarifa are designated as National Park means that the scenery and wildlife are largely unspoiled, as if they have been saved there especially for your pleasure. Tarifa is also home to some of the most unique riding experiences available in Spain, such as a fantastic ride across sand dunes and through cork forests to reach the hidden town of Paloma Baja, an area almost completely unknown to tourists. If that hasn’t convinced you enough, then you will be pleased to learn that there are many other activities available in this wonderful area of Andalucia, such as windsurfing lessons, kite surfing lessons, whale watching and even a day trip to Africa!</p><p>1. Horses and Italian Castles</p><p>What could be better than fabulous riding opportunities, good food, fine wine and the fantastic surroundings of a 16 century castle? In my opinion there isn’t an equestrian holiday available that sounds more appealing than equestrian-escapes “Italian castle hideaway break”. As you may have already guessed, your lodgings for the duration of your stay are not a bog standard hotel in the middle of a busy town; you will be staying at a breathtaking Italian castle, located in a wonderful area of the Italian countryside an hour and a half from Rome. The riding trails that are chosen are both hugely scenic and historic, and they take you through beautiful old farming areas, alongside amazing volcanic lakes and through stunning towns, such as the fortified village of Orano. If staying in a castle doesn’t quench your thirst for historical masterpieces, then you can also take up the opportunity of exploring the remains of an ancient Etruscan village in the nearby vicinity. Despite this busy schedule, you will still have plenty of time to relax by the pool, and indulge in the local delicacies, such as fine cheeses and wines, which in my opinion makes this holiday the perfect equestrian getaway for any rider, young or old!</p><p><p>I am a travel enthusiast and i have been travelling around Europe on horse riding holidays that http://www.equestrian-escapes.com/ organised for me</p></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.diegorayle.com/article/top-5-horse-riding-holiday-destinations/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fun and Frolic at Holiday Spain</title><link>http://www.diegorayle.com/article/fun-and-frolic-at-holiday-spain</link> <comments>http://www.diegorayle.com/article/fun-and-frolic-at-holiday-spain#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:23:55 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[World holidays]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Family Holiday]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Holiday In Spain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Holiday spain]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.diegorayle.com/article/fun-and-frolic-at-holiday-spain</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href=http://www.diegorayle.com/article/fun-and-frolic-at-holiday-spain><img style='margin-right:10px;width:60px' src=/wp-content/uploads/cc/World_holidays97-150x150.jpg class=imgtfe hspace=5 align=left width=100 alt='World holidays' title='World holidays' border=0></a>Holidays in Spain are filled with fun, adventure, entertainment and education because of which it has been rated as the third most popular destination around the world.

Learning how to survive and thrive during the holiday season is an important thing for singles to learn. Since holidays are marketed for families, singles who are alone are often made to feel like outsiders crashing a party. Talk about the holiday blues!</p><p>How Singles Prepare for the Holidays</p><p>As Christian single women and men dreading yet another holiday season alone, you&#8217;re probably struggling or thinking about:</p><p>* Where you&#8217;re going to spend the holidays to avoid loneliness</p><p>* How unfair it is that another Christmas is coming, and you&#8217;re still single</p><p>* What you&#8217;re gonna tell or do to those relatives who ask you again why you&#8217;re not yet married.</p><p>Holiday Do&#8217;s and Don&#8217;ts for Singles</p><p>As you reflect upon how to approach the holidays this season, it&#8217;s important to celebrate in a way you feel comfortable as a single person. As you begin to see all the commercialism, decorations and hype, let the following holiday do&#8217;s and dont&#8217;s guide you:</p><p>Holiday Do&#8217;s for Singles</p><p>Focus on the birth of our dear Lord and Saviour, Jesus, as the focal point of your holiday. Not to employ an overused cliche, but He is, after all, the Reason for the season.</p><p>Do remember that as a single you have the same need and right to enjoy this holiday season as any other couple or family does. So if you want to decorate your home or apartment, do it up good! How you choose to spend the holidays is your personal choice, not that of those around you. Before being cajoled by friends and family members to attend this event or that party, ask yourself if this is really what you want to do. Will it make you feel more lonely and depressed? Will it bring others AND you some measure of joy?</p><p>As a single Christian, set level expectations for the holidays. Have fun in the way you see fit, but don&#8217;t allow the world to pressure you into unrealistic expectations of what the holiday time should bring. That way, if things don&#8217;t go that way, there will be less disappointment and hurt.</p><p>Jesus said &#8220;it&#8217;s more blessed to give than to receive.&#8221; So, make this Christmas a time of service to others instead of focusing on your own needs and wants as a single person. Doing things such as feeding the poor or visiting the sick will not only help you put the holidays into their proper perspective, it will cause your spirits to soar! We guarantee it.</p><p>If you have not already done so, find a Christian singles group or church in your area where you can find and give support to other singles during the holidays. If you&#8217;re not part of any group, why not throw a holiday bash for other single friends you know?</p><p>Make sure to count every blessing the Lord has granted to you during the past year.</p><p>Holiday Don&#8217;ts for Singles</p><p>Avoid using too much alcohol (Ephesians 5:18) to cope with holiday stress because this tends to make one depressed.</p><p>As singles, we tend to overbook ourselves to the point of exhaustion. Make sure you don&#8217;t do this this holiday season, but give yourself plenty of down time to relax and rest. Fatique can lead to negative thought patterns.</p><p>Don&#8217;t spend all your holiday time with family members and other couples, but split the time to be with your single friends as well. This will help you keep a more positive perspective while enjoying everybody&#8217;s company</p><p>Overall, however you choose to celebrate the Christmas or New Year Holidays, remember to be safe, trust in God&#8217;s promises for your future (Jeremiah 29:11) and have fun! Happy Holidays!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.diegorayle.com/article/how-to-avoid-holiday-blues-as-christian-singles/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>A Change of Location for Summer Holidays</title><link>http://www.diegorayle.com/article/a-change-of-location-for-summer-holidays</link> <comments>http://www.diegorayle.com/article/a-change-of-location-for-summer-holidays#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:20:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[World holidays]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.diegorayle.com/article/a-change-of-location-for-summer-holidays</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href=http://www.diegorayle.com/article/a-change-of-location-for-summer-holidays><img style='margin-right:10px;width:60px' src=/wp-content/uploads/cc/World_holidays88-150x150.jpg class=imgtfe hspace=5 align=left width=100 alt='World holidays' title='World holidays' border=0></a>By: Karl Bantleman There are some destinations emerging amongst the favourite places for British tourists to visit this year.

Even though prices are lower, the standard of accommodation and facilities are not as these countries heavily rely on tourism to help the economy.</p><p>Croatia has benefited the most from tourists waiting until the last minute and people are taking advantage of the great deals on all inclusive holidays that are available. Croatia has a lot to offer any tourist travelling there and they will not be left disappointed. With 7 world heritage sites there and 8 national parks, there is plenty of culture to take in and allows all visitors to get a feel for Croatian culture.</p><p>Turkey is another country that has plenty to offer all visitors. Turkey is geographically positioned between two continents (Europe and Asia) and as such gives the country a unique feel. Despite 99% of the country being Muslim, Turkey is a secular state and has introduced many Western ideas and this mix comes out in its culture. Countries like Turkey and Croatia have made finding cheap holidays easier for British tourists looking to escape the doom and gloom of the British summer and experience a different kind of holiday.</p><p>Finding cheap holidays  just became easier with the likes of Turkey and Croatia offering great deals on all inclusive holidays .
