Welcome to Granada, everyone! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Nacho, and I'm not just your average tour guide - I'm a Granada native with a deep love for this city and its rich history. As an Official Tourist Guide of Granada, I've had the privilege of studying the intricate tapestry of Andalusian art history, focusing on the architectural marvels that spanned from the 7th to the 15th century. Granada, as the last Arabic capital of this period, holds a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to share its wonders with you. But it's not just history that I'm passionate about - I'm also fluent in Spanish, Chinese, English, Italian, and French. So, feel free to converse with me in any of these languages! As Nelson Mandela once said, 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. ' Beyond languages and history, I'm an energetic person who loves staying active through sports like cycling, taekwondo, skiing, running, and calisthenics. Being a tour guide isn't just about sharing facts - it's about being physically and mentally prepared to handle any situation while ensuring everyone has a fantastic time. Granada isn't just a city to me; it's my home, and I'm honored to share its charm with you. As Antonio Machado beautifully put it, 'Every city has a special charm, Granada has its own and all the other cities' charm. ' So, let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable memories in this enchanting city. Thank you for choosing Granada, and let's make the most of our time here! --> More than 5 years of experience in the hospitality business. --> Official Tour Guide in Granada. --> +700 reviews with 5 stars in three years. For my tour I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Granada tour
Muslim groups from East and North Africa (Arabs, Syrians and Berbers) arrived and invaded Spain from 711 to 1492 A. D. During this period, the last 200 years of the Muslim invasion this city, Granada, became the last capital of the last Muslim resistance. As the last line of defense, the last Muslim dynasty will build what we consider nowadays as the 8th Wonder of the World, the Alhambra. After having studied a Master of the Legacy of Al-andalus and worked both as a restorer and tour guide in the Alhambra, I know exactly how to bring it back to life for you. All together with my great passion for teaching and my unconditional love as "granaino" (local from Granada) for this city, this makes my tours pleasant, fun and above all that you will remember with such a great affection. Also no queues or waits. Completely personalized for your interest in lifestyle back then, art knowledge and folklore for all interests, from children to adults. I can customize this tour according to your preferences.
