Yes, families are welcome to join the walk and enjoy the food. Please note that the legal drinking age in Spain is 18, so non-alcoholic alternatives will be provided for children and those not participating in wine tastings.
What if I have concerns about my mobility on this tour?
This tour involves walking between several different locations over three hours. Some of the historic bars may have small steps or limited seating, so it is unfortunately not recommended for those with significant mobility issues or wheelchair users.
