How many days
We suggest three days to alternate the four tours with breaks. One or two days allow for an initial visit concentrated by area; add time if you want to visit other localities in the municipality.
When to go
Check the forecast for outdoor activities and access conditions for your dates. On beaches, check the tide, waves and local guidance; have an alternative activity in case the weather changes.

Group outings by area and walk where feasible. For separated points, hired transport or a car can make the route easier; confirm parking, embarkation points and return according to your base.
