What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We meet at the square in front of the barracks (the building with the flags) next to the souvenir shop. If you take the lift, that's 1 stop. If you go to the castle by foot, it's just after the check-in desk. I'll be holding the blue and white flag.
We finish the tour at Gabriel Miro Square, close to the restaurant and bar area.
