Por Ávila con un Abulense

Nos fuimos a Ávila a comer y pasar la tarde y optamos por coger un tour con David. Francamente, os lo recomiendo. Fue un paseo ameno con información curiosa, David hizo que la gente dispar que formábamos el grupo colaborásemos de manera activa en la visita tanto adultos como los niños, fue divertido y cercano, se le notaba a gusto en su trabajo y supo transmitirlo y hacer que, si Ávila ya nos gustaba, entonces nos gustara aún más. Por lo que os lo recomiendo al 100%
