A wonderful in an around Carerra - This trip exceeded our expectations we gave our tour guide Silvia a general idea of what we would like to do and she customized a tour for us. She limited the amount of walking as we requested. We have a mixture of new experiences since shopping a nice lunch a little village near the quarry. She stopped to let us take photos when requested And answered all our questions about ye area. Going underneath the mountain to the marble quarry was definitely an experience not to miss.
