The experience has been unique, a very enjoyable 3 hour walk, we have gone with our young children and they have only been tired at the end, the guide at all times has connected with us adults and children, she is called Rafaela (so it is written in Castilian), and of course, THANKS to our guide we have enjoyed the tour falling in love with the architecture of that time! What a wisdom!View original review in Spanish
