We should probably have known what to expect when one of the top reviews on TripAdvisor was a 1* with the comment “so dangerous, how is this allowed?” Nevertheless, this did not stop us from embarking on a 3km run down a mountain on a children’s sledge. You go to the bottom of the Palafour Read more
