Greetings travelers!
It is a great honour for me to offer you this tour of one of the most beautiful places in Spain.
As you know, we are in the Strait of Gibraltar , a crossing point par excellence, a connection point between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean . It is a very special area, especially because all the great civilizations in history have wanted to have control of this place.
Here we can find Roman and medieval sites, as well as Bastolo-Punic ones .
But not only that, we must pay special attention to the prehistoric remains that we find in the area, caves with Paleolithic engravings of more than 15,000 years old.
For this reason and because of my great interest in history, I have devised a tour in which we will cover several periods of our civilization, we will pass by several sites, some in the open air and others, like Baelo Claudia, in a natural environment. private (free entry for EU residents).
Now, it is my duty to state that this tour will be done BY ROAD , that is to say, the places we will visit, although they are relatively close, are several kilometers apart. For this reason, we will meet at a point on the route which is very accessible to everyone "Restaurante El Olivo ", at the entrance to Punta Paloma . From there we will leave shortly after the scheduled time, but not before offering you the details of the stops and the appropriate directions. The route will be very simple, since I will be in front with my private car at all times and I will give you the directions through the App "Zello Walkie talkie" (this App is optional but it is recommended to communicate and it will be a more immersive experience).
Please feel free to ask me any questions, I will be happy to answer them at any time.
I'll wait for you!
IMPORTANT:
- Wear comfortable shoes, sandals are not recommended because we will be walking on dirt and gravel roads.
- Zello Walkie talkie app to communicate on the road (optional).
- Bring water and sunscreen.
- Come with your own vehicle.
- The stops will have easy parking.
