The tour runs about an hour and covers how and why each phase of construction happened, with guides available in English, Spanish and French.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want the building's history explained as you walk through it rather than reading plaques on your own -- the guide ties each phase of construction to the people who ordered it and the reasons why, so the thousand years of Muslim and Christian building reads as one story instead of separate layers.
