Centro Ecuestre

What Centro Ecuestre does

Centro Ecuestre, operating commercially as Centro Las Marias, is a privately held equestrian tourism business headquartered in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain. Its single product offering consists of guided horseback riding excursions along coastal beaches and through pine forests, marketed to riders of all skill levels and ages — from first-time beginners to experienced equestrians. The business does not sell merchandise, training programs, lodging, or any secondary service line; the entire commercial proposition is the recreational ride itself.

The company runs a direct-to-consumer operation with no intermediary distribution, no third-party booking platform integration, and no online payment flow. All reservations are accepted via a single email address ([email protected]) and a single Spanish phone number (+34 652129911). Its only digital presence is a WordPress-based website (centrolasmarias.com) presented bilingually in Spanish and English, last refreshed in July 2025 with a new logo and operational photography. There is no mobile app, no API, no disclosed technology stack, and no data infrastructure.

Centro Las Marias is registered as private with no public ticker, no institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed management team beyond the Melgarejo email identity implied from the contact address. Headcount stands at 37 employees, which is comparatively large for a single-location tour operator and likely includes stable hands, guides, and equine-care staff. The business is currently operating, evidenced by a 2026 copyright date on the website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and there is no evidence of formal revenue reporting, funding rounds, or strategic partnerships.
