Aunque en un principio hubo un despiste y nos dejaron esperando, se solventó enseguida y pudimos hacer la ruta.
El paseo por los balcones es impresionante, no puedes irte de la isla sin pasar por ayi, la zona de las casas enA, aunque me decepcióno un poquito, porque por foto da que pensar que el pueblo es asi, es una zona donde siguen habilitada unas pocas de casa, aún así son una maravilla ver cómo en la isla mantienen sus costumbres y su cultura.
El punto negativo fue el conductor guia, explicó lo justito para saber dónde estábamos, y su forma de conducir un poco temararia

Excellent full day tour. Pickup from the hotel was prompt and the driver very helpful. As the weather in the centre of the island was very poor, he modified the itinerary a little to make best use of the day. There were only four participants, but the tour went ahead anyway which was good.
