Sampling a barraquito coffee was a real treat. The local museum with displays of local pottery and early life amenities is an eye opener. Driving the Twizzy’s up and down the mountain back roads was a great way to enhance the adventure.. Highly recommended!”
Review of Valencia’s 4-hour Jeep safari through Calderona Mountains, with off-road driving, El Garbi views, tapas, drinks, and pickup.
