“Met by efficient reps at our meeting point to get us on the right tour and bus. Our tour guide Jesús was very pleasant and spoke in English as well as Spanish, giving us information about the area on our way. We travelled in January so didn’t expect to see the white villages in beautiful sunshine but the rain and cloud cover on the mountain stopped us from walking around so we had a coffee in a little bar until we had to leave. Rain at the next village so another couple of bars for wine and no walking. The two villages looked very pretty otherwise, and worth visiting, we…”
