Hello! My name is Mirian and I am thrilled to be your guide in Granada and Malaga! I work as a tour guide since 2015 and it is the best job I I have ever had. Sharing and exchanging knowledge with different people while touring some of the most beautiful cities in Andalucia is such a pleasure. I like showing off our stunning heritage, helping travelers to understand why Granada and Malaga are so important, the historical context in which our monuments were built, . . . taking a dip into medieval History and traditions. Granada is a must when travelling to Spain for many reasons: the unique Islamic and Christian art combination, the UNESCO heritage sites, the zambra flamenca, the tapas culture and many more. . . And the beautiful Malaga, the second most important city of our muslim chapter, with an interesting phoenician and roman past. I am a passionate traveller and feel like a citizen of the world although I am a very proud Andalusian! I have travelled and lived in different countries across 3 different continents. I'm a dancer (love salsa!), a food lover, a great cook (that's what my friends say), love History and Art History and enjoy meeting new people and learning all kinds of new skills! I am also a foodie and can help you discover the amazing gastronomy of this region including its wines and crafted beers. Local gourmet cheese, EVOOs (Extra Virgin Olive Oil), cured meats, jams and more are waiting for you here in sunny Andalucia. As I am coeliac I can also help you find restaurants and suitable food stores to make your life easier and tastier during your visit. - Licensed tour guide of Andalucia - Licensed tour guide of the Alhambra - Licensed tour guide of Malaga Thyssen Collection - B.A. in Tourism Business Administration. - Postgraduate Diploma in Art and Heritage - Postgraduate Diploma in Archeology

Loved our tour with Mirian! It was informative and relaxing. We had walked around on our own prior to the tour so when we walked with Mirian, we were able to get a better sense of the history and community. Highly recommend a tour with her early in your visit to Granada so she can give you some advice on places to eat and see.

Mirian was very flexible in accommodating our group when she found out we ranged in age from almost 2 to almost 70 years old. Her depth of knowledge is unparalleled, and she also provided fantastic resources for further delving into the areas that most piqued our interest. Mirian is a national treasure. Thank you for giving us the context to understand the beauty we saw all over Alhambra, the Albaycin, and the caves.

Mirian is an outstanding guide. She took us on a fabulous walking tour or the Albaycin, the historic Moorish quarter, and Sacromonte, with its whitewashed cave houses and old Roma culture. There is so much history there, and Marian made it all come alive. We learned so much from her as we walked up and down the narrow streets and took in unique sights we could not have found on our own. She also took us to scenic overlooks of the Grenada hills and the Alhambra. She adapted the pace to our needs and even treated us to some delicious treats from a local monastery. The tour was one of the highlights of our three-week trip to Spain.

We loved touring Granada with Mirian! She knows every inch of the city and makes it come alive. She quickly understood our interests and took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. She was generous with her time and is also just fun to be with.

Outstanding. E real guide ! She speaks real English. History, architecture, sociology, and above all a deep knowledge of the city. Delicate and with the sense of humor. A wonderful trip.

This was our first tour with Mirian in Granada. We decided to use her services to get an insight into this marvelous city. We could not have chosen better! Mirian took us on an exciting tour all over the Albaycin and Sacromonte, a maze of charming and hilly alleys in the oldest part of Granada. Mirian patiently answered to all of our questions as she made us discover beautiful hidden corners we would have never found on our own. We highly recommend Mirian to anybody visiting Granada!
