Francesca set the scene very clearly as to how the city had grown from its Roman beginnings through the various Lordships to the invasion of Napoleon. We walked through the city and saw the places that related clearly to its history. Many of these places were away from the main tourist route and would not have been so easy to find on my own. She gave us lots of facts and figures but always kept the tour enjoyable A fun engaging tour, thoroughly recommend her and any tour she is providing.
We'd come to Spain to experience its history. Carlos led us through the streets and narrow passage ways, showing us interesting historical sites. His personal collection of photographs, explained how this city had grown, from a fishing village. His pride in the city with its large collection of museums and galleries, made us wish we had more days in this glorious city.
A most enthusiastic guide, who brought the story of the Alcazaba to life. As we progressed through the fortress, he pointed out the reasons for its military construction and the fate of the Moors. Thoroughly enjoyable tour and more to explore than we had anticipated.
