A wondeful tour
We had a wonderful time in Barranco with Richard. It was like making a new friend who knew all the local sites and history. We went to art galleries, a coffee shop, roamed the streets and even had lunch together after the tour!! Then he took us to one of the best bars in the world. No joke. If you’re into surfing and or music…..even better. Thank you Richard for a wonderful tour of Barranco!!
