Good to know
This suits anyone who enjoys Spanish food, families with children, and visitors keen on neighbourhood character rather than glossy tourist spots. No serious fitness demands — it's a stroll with regular stops, so mixed mobility is fine. Vegetarian options are available; confirm specifics with your guide when booking. The three drinks per person are included; anything extra costs more. The meeting point varies by date and time, so contact your guide to confirm where to start. The tour is fully wheelchair accessible, and nearby public transport is accessible too. Young children and infants in prams are welcome. Peak times (weekends, midday) may mean busier markets and longer waits at stops.
