Medina Azahara with a Spanish-speaking guide: why choose this tour

Although the archaeological site can be visited independently, going with a guide changes the experience considerably. At first glance, many structures may look like mere archaeological remains, but with the right explanation it becomes easier to imagine their political, artistic and symbolic importance.

The museum helps place the artefacts found during the excavations in context, while the 3D reconstruction allows you to visualise the city as it may have looked in the past.
