Paramoudras circular from the Fortress of Guadalupe
This is a variation of the "Paramoudras from Our Lady of Guadalupe" walk, which extends farther from the starting point. It adds some more kilometres, but awards with beautiful sandstone sculptures made by wind and water. It also adds two descents that not everybody would be comfortable with, but nothing too bad. We were happy that we missed the turn from the original route and felt that this added a lot of value to the walk.
