MYSTERIES, ANECDOTES AND LEGENDS OF BIAR

ASK FOR TIMES AND AVAILABILITY
Because I have two Tours, it is convenient to ask for times because you can start later or earlier.
The route can last 2 to 3 hours depending on how much you want to visit, since the Castle and Museum are optional. The entrance price for both is €1.
