Lovely walk with excellent friendly guide who gave us lots of information about the plants and local area. Easy walk which can be enjoyed by many including those not used to walking regularly. Good views from a few vantage points.

very nice

Very nice tour guide 🤩🙏🏻 a little earlier than the usual tours, so we had the way to ourselves. Very nice, short 5 km hike with very nice views along a valley. On the way there were two mini fruit stands from local farmers 👩‍🌾 🍌🥑 The tour ended in a small bar with freshly squeezed orange juice.
