Guide #38262
Hello! My name is Jose and I am in love with the city of Granada where I was born. Thank you for viewing my profile. I would love to be your eyes in this wonderful and captivating city. I graduated from the University of Granada in 2003 with a degree in Pedagogy. I am inclined to believe in the power of education to move the world. And the best way to teach something is through the game. According to my intention, I worked as a tourist entertainer at resorts and hotel for several years. It was an experience that changes me forever because I met people from different countries and they gave me their piece of truth. As a part of the programmed activities, I started to guide to the historical areas of towns and I realized that it was my real vocation. Consequently, I continued my studies in art, history, religion, nature, . . . and I certificated as an Official Guide of Tourism. If you do whatever you love time runs really fast and my 5 years in Granada as a local guide check it. Granada is plenty of monuments, picturesque places, and charming locations. Every step in Granada is a new sigh and you will be more haunted. Let me connect you with the magic of this city. Due to I am a local I have a lot of resources to plan personal tours and combine them with musical or gastronomic experiences. All my tours are private and they could be customized following your personal interests or ideas My clients usually describe me as an enthusiastic and passionate guide and I personally agree. On another hand, I consider myself an open-minded and tolerant person with a sense of humor and good communication skills. It will be a pleasure to show you the city that even the light loves!

Jose was an outstanding tour guide! We did a half day tour of the Alhambra. Jose is personable, friendly and very knowledgable about the history, art and architecture of the Alhambra and surrounding areas. You can tell he cares deeply about the history of preservation of this wonderful structure. He made our trip to the Alhambra very special and would highly recommend...
Jose was a perfect guide-- flexible when changes to the schedule were possible, persistent when it was not. His knowledge was deep and extensive both in ancient and contemporary domain. At rare occasions when he couldn't answer our questions he was not afraid to admit it and then tried to research and follow up. He was also kind enough to provide some local help and...
Jose did a great job! He is very knowledgeable, interesting and caring. Getting to see beautiful Albayzin was a highlight, and walking the winding streets was a lot of fun. Of course, The Alhambra is amazing beyond words!
Our family (2 adults, early-20s daughter, late-teens son) had a great time touring the Alhambra & Generalife gardens with José. He was incredibly flexible after Apple Maps lead us to a different starting point, and he was able to adjust the planned ordering on the fly. José shared a great deal of knowledge and insight into the history, architecture and artistry of...
