Cuando un amigo visita tu ciudad por vez primera, todos tenemos un recorrido en mente preparado con aquellos lugares que juzgamos más representativos o interesantes. De forma invariable, enhebramos en la ruta piedras venerables, espacios transitados y algún lugar desde el que disfrutar de un panorama de la urbe. De modo estratégico se distribuyen también en el trayecto garitos en los que disfrutar del vino de la tierra y las especialidades del lugar, midiendo los tiempos y espacios de las paradas.

It is a safe asset that never disappoints visitors who contemplate with surprise his trunk plump, swollen by the accumulation of water in the dry season, its twisted branches and covered with spines, its reptilian colour...
