  • Travelers wanting to taste three named rosés
  • Guests aged 18 and over looking for a short activity

Is it worth it?

It can be worthwhile if you value the combination more than a purely technical tasting: three rosés, three tapas and the Santa Bárbara Castle setting from 28 EUR. The main trade-off is logistics, because the exact meeting point can be tricky to find and you need time to reach the upper part of the castle.

💡 TourBookGo tip

Save the meeting-point reference: Baluarte de la Contramina, second stop of the lift. Some reviews say the location can be confusing, so arriving with extra time is especially useful.
