Review: Both activities we participated in were truly interesting. The visit to Medina Azahara with Daniela was very enjoyable and entertaining, and the visit to the Mosque of Córdoba with Pepa, a wonderful guide, helped us understand part of the city's history in a simple, friendly, and professional manner. Our congratulations to both.
