Great combination of history, culture and nature

We highly recommend this tour! Our guide Francisco was wonderful, very knowledgeable about all the history and nature. We loved the combination of seeing the palace (early morning, so still reasonably quiet) and then a nice hike with absolutely stunning views.

Nice experience with a short nature walk
