I already knew the cities, but they became much more beautiful with the explanation of the history in the passionate account of their work done by the guide Nacho / Ignácio! Thank you so much, Nacho! My friend Ana and I wish to come back for the longer tour and that we are so lucky to have a guide who is passionate about what he does! Congratulations and thank you for all the knowledge shared with us!
