MYSTERIES, ANECDOTES, AND LEGENDS OF BIAR

ASK ABOUT SCHEDULES AND AVAILABILITY
Since I have two tours, it is advisable to ask about schedules because we might start later or earlier.
The route can last from 2 to 3 hours depending on everything you wish to visit, as the Castle and Museum are optional. The entrance fee for both is €1.
