Our guide Curro was remarkable both sharing his knowledge and answering any questions we had. The tour was not rushed and we felt that Curro was about making us understand the history and life of the Alcazar. The Alcazar is very busy and patience needs to be a virtue. Curro had this in spades. Great tour for us.
