Interest rate - We booked this guided tour of Medina Azahara and our guide Antonio was the best. I explain everything in detail with humor, sympathy, professionalism and made them super nice and short. We learned a lot and, if we return to Córdoba, we will repeat without hesitation for another visit. I have to say that being just my partner and I on the tour made it much easier for us to listen to the visit than if we had been a large group.
