said about this walk

“The walk from Grazelema to Montejaque took a lot longer than the notes said because we stopped frequently to look at the flowers and birds.”

 

“This was our first such holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.”

 

“The Griffin Vultures were truly magnificent. We sat and watched at least 30 of them circling (quite low) overhead.”
