An expert guide accompanies the group throughout the day, offering engaging explanations that connect geology, archaeology, and cultural evolution. Designed for adults and older children, the tour is not recommended for children under 10 due to the terrain and walking conditions. With punctual arrival required at the meeting point, this excursion offers a well-structured and enriching exploration of one of Spain’s most unique and ancient landscapes.
