Good tour
Nice tour. They had multiple antiques that were well presented on the first room that was self guided. Then we went inside to another room where our guide explained a little more about Spanish medicine and procedures (mostly amputations), after that we were taken to a third room where she explained more about herbs and how they were used( they even gave us a flyer with all the info) and then we were taken to the garden where they have samples of different herbs. After that is over and you exit thru the gift shop that in my opinion was a little outdated. We really enjoyed the tour, our guide was very knowledgable and nice but I feel that for the price I was expecting a little bit more. I still recommend it.

Not what I expected but still good
I was expecting a bigger area, more hospital that you could walk through. Understandably the guy giving us the tour/lecture did explain that many ages ago parts of the hospital where sold off and turned into something else like the restaurant across the street. There is a house next door that use to be a part of the hospital that has since been sold which is where the herb garden was also. Our tour guide was very informative in explaining how the hospital worked etc. The herbs that’s was used etc.
