We'll also learn about the work of local entrepreneurs dedicated to goat farming, taking part in a rustic tasting in the property's century-old orchards, and you'll be able to tour the place and learn more about the Spaniards' route. Later, with trekking poles, we'll set off on a 15-minute trail in search of archaeological pictographs of the ancient indigenous peoples who inhabited this valley.
