According to the following article, we expected an area with many cherry trees around the village of Alfarnate: diariosur.es/economia/agroalimentacion/abril-florecen-cerezos-20190411000253-ntvo.html
But when we arrived, we did not see a single cherry tree. We asked an old man, he helped us to find an open cherry orchard with delicious cherries. We were 6 hungry people, eating a lot and taking more for the way. The farmer would certainly not be happy after noticing the loss, given the work he puts into the plantation. There was a house, we pushed € 20 through the door slot with some words on paper. We hope, he gets it well...
The landscape was very beautiful, green mountains and hills, a big lake and the Mediterranean ... We all enjoyed the tour. One of the participants went straight after the Walkabout back to the cherry orchard.
