Los mejores momentos los que recuerdan a vecinos que sobresalen por algún motivo y las anécdotas de la guía

Veroni B

Bien, empezamos con una breve explicación en la plaza donde nos explica toda la historia de ella y lo que contiene. En el refugio nos empieza a explicar, no la escucho nada y le pido que se ponga el altavoz y me dice que me acerque, NO señora ppr mucho que me acerque no paran de pasar coches y no se oye sin altavoz. Vale, continuamos y llegamos a la plaza vieja, nos mete en el centro de interpretación patrimonial a ver un video, pero si es un edificio municipal, gratuito que podemos ir en cualquier noventa! Porque perdemos el tiempo aquí? Bueno, callejeros por la zona musulmán, que por cierto, inclusivo nada porque pasamos por una cuesta muy empinada que personas en silla de ruedas, difícilmente pueden subirla sola, luego comenta que vamos por ahí porque por el otro lado hay escaleras...., al comentar eso, a las personas que van en silla de ruedas les hace sentir mal, cállate y no lo digas ya nadie lo sabe. Después de pasar por el barrio, que se pasa mucho miedo por la zona, vamos a diferentes lugares y anécdotas. No sé pasa por el parque clara campoamor ni por el museo de la guitarra, cuando estaba en el itinerario. Finalmente llegamos al teatro cervantes donde, nos explica que que ella va a casting de anuncios y series y que su marido también, cuando eso no es nada importante ni relevante. Concluyo que la ruta no es inclusiva, cuando así en el anuncio lo pone. No me importa si la guía es ecologista o que va de casting ella y su marido. Aporto con dos estrellas ya que, no todo lo que nos explica, es paja
