What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads you through the ornate rooms of the Alcázar, pointing out the carved ceilings and tile work that define the Mudéjar style. The Cathedral visit focuses on its scale and artistic interior. The Santa Cruz section is less formal—you'll walk cobblestone alleys where your guide shares anecdotes about the neighbourhood's past, including the legend of Susona. Expect moderate walking on uneven ground; the pace is leisurely enough for questions and photos.
