Mysteries, Stories and Legends of Biar
Tour description
ASK FOR SCHEDULES AND AVAILABILITY
Since I have two tours, it is advisable to ask about schedules because they can start earlier or later.
The tour can take 2 to 3 hours depending on what you want to see, as the Castle and Museum are optional. Admission to both is €1.
