Welcome to the Realm of Mystery! Your are going to visit a LEPROSY including a Spanish Fascism style church and military quarter. All this together with enchanting beaches and beautiful white villages. Wonderful views of the Atlantic 0cean and the nearby mountains are wating for us too. We will do a very easy walk of about 3 hours round trip. We will start from a picturesque white hamlet located next to a beautiful beach with golden sand. From this place we will walk directly to the mysterious abandoned Village of Lepers. These are 40 buildings of SPANISH FASCIST STYLE (late-Francoism) that impose on the eye. The curious thing is that all these buildings were built to serve as Leprosy. They had a crematorium, a very impressive CHURCH, a school, a hospital, recreational spaces and accommodation blocks. Of course we will visit the famous Cathedral of Lepers. You will take pictures and receive a lot of interesting information about the fascinating history of this mysterious place.

In the second part of the trip we will return to the initial point following a different route, a little longer but very beautiful. We will visit several nearby beaches and a picturesque lighthouse. Back to the small white village where we left and we will go to the beach. You can even get into the ocean if you want to swim.

This tour gives the opportunity to walk around impressive places, less spectacular and known than other more famous sites, but closer to local people and culture. Trust your guide to find a nice local restaurant to make the tour fully successful. Just be conscious that a little walking is required.
