Bizarrement la météo que je voyais sur internet n'indiquait rien de tel, et sans surprise, il n'est pas tombé une goutte à l'horaire prévu. J'attends le remboursement qu'on m'a annoncé. Je ne recommande absolument pas cette agence. En remplacement j'ai loué un kayak auprès de Kayak Sevilla et ça s'est très bien passé (location sans guide).”
