Man and woman on horseback having lunch at El Rocio.

In El Rocio, a very unusual traditional town in the heart of the Coto Doñana, Andalucía, Spain, horse riders don’t even have to dismount to eat lunch, as some of the cafés and bars have high tables outside so that they can have their meals while still on horseback. However, if riders want to go into the bar or to the toilet, there are also lower hitching posts outside where they can leave their horses.
