Interesting and instructive - Interesting and wonderfully explained visit by our guide Maria. The only drawback is the unevenness, if you are not fit.

Interesting. - Nice and interesting. The guide, Almudena, very nice. In my opinion the buses in the resort should not be so crowded, it can be dangerous as well as uncomfortable for visitors.

Definitely go with a guide! - Our guide Alejandro was excellent. So knowledgeable, he really made the place come alive. I suspect this site is one you would not appreciate without a guide to tell you the history and point out the relevant architecture. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alejandro! 5 stars.

Medina - The views are amazing, and Maria is a fantastic guide!! The only catch is that being in the works there are inaccessible areas.
