We had the chance to be only me and my daughter for that tour, so we had our guide Jorge just for us, adapting the tour on our interest. We saw a lot of nice places with great explanations. Jorge was very well prepared, informed us about a lot of things about Spain and some special places in the old town. We really appreciated these nice moments with such a friendly and lovely guide.
