Questions couples ask

Is there a guide?+
No. The hop-on hop-off bus has recorded commentary through headphones in fourteen languages, including English, and you choose where to stop. The rest of the time is yours.
Can we stay longer?+
Yes. Extra nights before or after, at the same hotel, are easy to add when you enquire.
How do we get to the flamenco show?+
You make your own way to the theatre in the city centre and back. Shows start at 6pm or 8pm, and it is worth arriving 20 minutes early.
