Estupendo!!!!

Una visita muy completa a la ciudad de Loja, en donde el guía nos ha mostrado los lugares de mayor interés turístico, completando las explicaciones con anécdotas y comentarios históricos. Todo con un trato agradable, formal y cercano.

Espectacular reseña histórica en Loja

El guía super, José Antonio, un crack en detalles de la historia estratégica de Loja. Muchos relatos y datos geográficos e históricos que enriquecen el paseo y cada paso dado es un detalle. La visita a la Alcazaba y su museo, la ermita de Jesús Nazareno, la iglesia de San Gabriel, las vistas son magníficas desde los miradores y la historia rica que encierran hicieron de la mañana una delicia para repetir. Aprendí mucho sobre la historia pasada de Loja, como se ha convertido en 'los ojitos" de Granada. Me ha encantado visitar y conocer Loja.
