A great trip. Our guide Jose and his partner were really friendly and gave us lots of interesting information about the area (Jose speaks French, which was very handy!). We even saw dolphins! The beaches were beautiful and the aperitif came at just the right time. We were in our own little world for the whole afternoon.
