Exploring the Scenic Walk Along the Amadorio Canyon Cliffs
The core highlight of this experience is the walk along cliffs of the Amadorio Canyon. This section begins at an ancient water reservoir, built in the 17th century, providing a historic backdrop. The walk follows a hanging walkway attached to the cliffs, offering stunning views of the canyon below and the surrounding landscape.
The walk culminates on a free-hanging platform with a glass-bottom, allowing you to peer directly down into the canyon. This part of the tour delivers a thrill for those comfortable with heights, offering spectacular perspectives that are difficult to match elsewhere. A photo stop here enables capturing the dramatic scenery.
Visiting Relleu’s Historic Village and Moorish Castle
After the canyon adventure, the tour brings you into the village of Relleu for a guided tour. This charming village features noteworthy sites such as a little chapel and an old Moorish castle that overlooks the village. The guide leads through narrow streets, highlighting local architecture and history.
The visit to the castle offers insight into Relleu’s past, providing panoramic views of the area. Exploring the village on foot offers a relaxed pace, enabling visitors to appreciate the local character and heritage.
Rest and Refresh in a Traditional Local Bar
The tour wraps up with a relaxation period in a local bar in Relleu. Here, travelers can enjoy a “Menú del Día”, a traditional set meal, or simply relax with a cool drink. This stop enhances the experience by offering a taste of local culture and providing a well-deserved rest.
It’s worth noting that food and drinks are not included in the initial price, but the optional meal or drink in Relleu adds a friendly, local flavor to the day.
