Very nice the Alcázar important data on Thursdays from 18 hs the entrance is free, you do not write down approach the door and you get the ticket and you can visit it without problem, for the tower access is with wide and high steps and not very difficult to access The gardens are very beautiful As you leave you cross paths and go to the Roman bridge And another very attractive place to visit is the very picturesque Jewish quarter The Courtyards of Cordoba to see them in their splendor is in the month of May

Rafael was very knowledgeable and provided lots of inside information regarding the past. The castle is well preserved I wished it had more furnishing (even if they were replicas). It is well worthy and we recommend this tour.
Very nice and informative walking tour of the area! Guide knew a lot of history and had personal facts as well. Definitely recommend, worth the price.
