Rising temperatures, less rainfall and also low season, make spring the ideal time to venture on a trip and recharge your batteries before the end of the year. All you need is a weekend, comfortable and light but warm clothes -spring has a somewhat unstable weather- and a great desire to get into nature and disconnect from everything.
