prehistoric settlements in the surroundings.
The visit will finish in one of the wine caves for a snack and a drink.

A fine city in a exceptional settlement, where one can appreciate
its character and style. A snack and coffee or tea will be served.

In spite of its name, it is no longer by the sea (Mar in Spanish)
but is a fine medieval village with fortified towers and
a Romanesque monastery. Nearby is the Altamira cave
that, unfortunately, we cannot visit because of preservation
regulations.
This visit will end with typical local refreshments.
