    My experience was wonderful. I went with my husband and my dog, and we had a wonderful time. Thanks to Chema, we got to know Baños de la Encina in the best possible way. His friendliness and charisma make the visit very enjoyable, and you'll remember all the important historical facts about this beautiful town. I definitely recommend it. If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate.
