The Viewpoints Overlooking the Town and the Mountains in Letur and Ayna
On the third day, the road goes into the mountains to visit two villages surrounded by high rock formations.
Ayna is called the Spanish Switzerland because of the geography that surrounds it and its buildings with low houses and red roofs. This village is famous for being the place where the movie Amanece, que no es poco was filmed.
Letur is another charming village, its narrow cobbled streets and stone houses give it a spectacular atmosphere.
