Geotrails
Geotrails allow visitors to recognize thematically interconnected sites and, therefore, complementary to each other, so that the visitor along the route, learn a coherent story and not isolated stories from each of the sites visited. Thus, the geotrails are an educational resource focused on the dissemination of geoheritage and a service that enriches the tourist offer for their benefit of visitors and the local communities.
NOTA:
Local vehicles with a maximum capacity of 10 people are available. The maximum number of participants in each tour is 20. In all cases, the tours are led by local guides.
