Beautiful Justicia ancient city by the sea. Ramon was very knowledgeable about the city and could point out evidence of the past in the modern structures. We would never have noticed these on our own

Ramon picked us up at the hotel right on time. He had a good plan for the day. The site was about an hour or so away. We made a pit stop along the way. The first site we saw was the quarry, then we saw then the aqueduct and the town. We were lucky we had great weather. There is a lot of walking on this tour so be prepared. Ramon gave us great explanations about the sites. We stopped at Sitges on the way back and had lunch. It was a great tour and Ramon was a great guide.
