Worth doing - Gloria was very good: amusing and knowledgeable. A good guide. Then we have to write more to get to 100 characters- when I didn’t want to

Tour for the whole family - We did this tour as a family, two adults and two girls aged 11 and 13. Jesús' explanations were very entertaining and full of anecdotes and curious facts that you would not know if you went to visit the Alcazaba on your own. The hour and a half of the tour flew by, and my daughters really enjoyed everything they learned. I definitely recommend doing this tour with Jesus.
