Our guide, Joaquin, was very well informed and provided us with a good history of the Mosque, Jewish quarter and Alcazar. It was a beautiful day for the walking tour and it was nice to have a break at about the middle of the tour. It was very well organized at the group size of about 30 was a little larger than I expected.

The guide (Rocio) was great, she made the visit much better than expected and that did not start well, since we were given as a meeting point in front of the entrance door of the Mosque-Cathedral instead of in front of the entrance of the Alcazar, where it was correct, which happened to about 10 people, but the good work of Rocio made the visit was great.
