The Experience Accompanied by an expert local guide, you’ll stroll along the Alameda del Tajo, where the breeze carries scents of Mediterranean flora and the river’s gentle murmur enhances the atmosphere. You’ll visit the Plaza de Toros, one of Spain’s oldest bullrings, and experience the thrill of standing at the edge of the Puente Nuevo. Stops at viewpoints such as Balcón del Coño and Mirador María Auxiliadora offer unforgettable panoramic views of the gorge and the city’s layered skyline.
