Amazing - Juan Carlos was amazing. Due to my Mothers age walking was not good in the heat, so we asked to be driven around the city. He fully agreed and then said He -free time lets go to Mince where he proceeded to buy us coffee and the most wonderfully fresh food. No Complaints, perfect English, So happy to provide us with any little extra he could.
