What to expect
Expect to spend three hours walking slowly through scrubland and meadow, stopping frequently to examine plants up close. Your guide will teach you how to identify common wild species—both what's edible and what's not—and share stories about traditional uses your grandparents' generation might have known. You'll collect bits of what you find, then gather to prepare a simple savoury bite using your harvest. This isn't a strenuous hike; the pace is deliberately unhurried so you can really look, touch and taste.
