... I love people watching! Then we walked through the town and reached the teleferico, a cable car to the top of a hill, which overlooks the entire town with views beyond on the surrounding valleys. In our pod, we met two nice guys, who asked us all about our travels and congratulated us on our honeymoon - it was great practice to tell them everything in Spanish. The views from the top were great and the town looked so much bigger than we thought ...
