Wandering through the town was a delightful experience, especially when I stopped at a quaint café for a warm pastry and coffee, which made the chilly air feel a bit cozier. The guide shared fascinating stories about the local culture and history, making each stop feel significant, particularly when I stood in front of the vibrant murals that tell tales of the area’s past. My only minor hiccup was that I wished I could have spent a bit more time at each landmark, as there was so much to absorb in just those two hours.

The only hiccup was that the pace felt a bit rushed at times, but overall, we had a wonderful experience bonding over the sights and flavors.
