MY OWN EXPERIENCE

The first time that i was there, it was the best experiences in my life. since that i have a specific feel with the town. 

It was the place in which i found the love of my life, i had the opportunity  to know more about that place.

One day i went to the Sierra de Quila, with some friends and it was an amazing experiences. we spend a lot of time there, know more about some animals and share with friends many things like see the waterfall, landscape, the food etc.. 

it was the best experience that i never had, i will never change something like that.
