Hiking
There are six stages on this route with an average stage including an 8 to 10km trek. The terrain is varied with dirt tracks and cobbled paths making up the majority of the walks. You will walk from one village to the next over the old donkey trails that were used for centuries to connect towns before modern asphalt roads were available. The route is easy to hike and great for beginning to moderate hikers.
