    ➯➯ We went to ask for information about an excursion and, despite the number of people, they treated us very well, they provided us with maps and abundant information about the valley and its surroundings, although our command of Spanish could improve a little, we managed to understand each other without problem, recommended both for attention and information. 🔴🌕🌕🔴
