We started with a visit to the Central Market to sample some Iberian ham and cheese, then the group went up to the castle in taxis- we didn’t visit inside but learnt about its history. Other landmarks were highlighted on the way down. We walked through Santa Cruz which was beautiful & a real hidden gem. The old town was interesting and we finished in a bar with a tapas & drink.”
