Je vous recommande vraiment cette activité comme un moment de connection avec Serra Malagueta. Une petite promenade sous les chants des oiseaux avec une vue incroyable. Maria a été notre guide. Nous avons passé un moment très agréable qui s’apparentait plus à une agréable promenade sportive. Elle nous expliquait l’origine des plantes et leur utilisation. Une véritable botaniste. Vous ne regretterez pas !
