Sunshine Tour in Montenmedio

The Sunshine Games are a long series of equine events that are all held at a single venue in order to require the least traveling on the part of the participating horses. In fact, the horses involved do travel to the site of the games at Montenmedio near Vejer from around 20 countries. Once there, however, they are able to settle in, relax and enjoy excellent conditions to perform in a wide array of events at the Montenmedio arena.

The Montenmedio arena was built in 2002 and is a vast structure covering 15,600 square metres. The covered area provides the perfect space for competitions regardless of the weather with neither intense rains nor blazing sun interfering with events. Olympic Qualifying events are included among the many scheduled competitions for this prestigious venue.

The Montenmedio arena is located in the Andalucian province of Cádiz, which is home to a vast stretch of Mediterranean coastline known as the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) thanks to the tremendous quality of the light in this part of the region. The climate is also ideal for year round outdoor activities with facilities like Montenmedio in Vejer designed to protect cope with hot, Iberian summers. However, Atlantic breezes do temper the heat in this part of Spain.
