Hi there! My name is Juan Antonio and I'm an official tour guide in Andalucía. I am really passionate about my region, its cuisine, culture, and history, so when I had the chance of becoming a guide 10 years ago I had no doubt and went for it. In Granada, I will show you not only what you can read in books, but the details and tell you the anecdotes that are not that easy to find. That is the main reason why I love living in the old town, so I will tell you the stories as a local and someone who lives day-to-day in the city. As I am specialized in doing private tours, I am completely flexible and open-minded, as well as respectful. The tours that I offer are completely customized for each one, so each you have specially interested in something, it wil be more than welcome. If you are looking for a close, personal and enjoyable tour without losing any detail, taking a tour with me will be the best decision. - Degree of Tourism (UCA) - Master of Innovation of Tourism (ESCO) - Official Tour Guide in Andalusia (Gobierno de Andalucía) - Languages Credentials in English and Portuguese (Cambridge and CAPLE) - 10 years guiding experience None.

Discovering the roots of the city
Overview of your Granada tour
Granada is not only the Alhambra, and in this tour, I will show you what came first, the city, that has been here for a thousand years. We will discover the old Muslim quarter, the Albaicín with its viewpoints, beautiful buildings and narrow streets and then we will go to Sacromonte, the traditional gypsy quarter, where the flamenco music started in Granada and still there are people living in cave houses. This is a really good option if you are interested in the history of the two most popular neigborhoods of the city, stablished by moors and gypsies, respectively. They are full of jewels and hidden corners that will be related by a local that knows this maze like the back of my hand. Do you want to know how the muslims moved to Granada and initially made in that hill there headquarters or how people still live like troglodites? Then this is your tour.
