Treasure hunt
EL Valle Asociacion is organizing an exciting car treasure hunt on Monday, June 3. Participants can look forward to an exciting afternoon full of adventure and fun. The hunt, organized by the association, promises a unique experience with all the clues visible from the comfort of your car. However, there will be some instances where a short walk through a village will be necessary. The event is expected to last approximately 2-3 hours and guarantees a fun time for everyone involved.
Although teams of four are recommended for optimal fun, solo adventurers are more than welcome. To ensure a smooth experience, the association kindly requests interested parties to register their teams a few days before the event. Because start times will be staggered based on the number of teams, early registration is crucial. For more information and to secure your spot, please contact El Valle Asociacion at serendip88@hotmail.com. Get ready for an unforgettable journey through the picturesque landscapes and charming villages of Axarquia!
