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!

I will show you why the Alhambra summarizes like no other building the splendor reached in Al-Andalus. It will be a Palatine city where architecture would show the power of those who lodge in it. I will be your host in the perfect harmony achieved between architecture, vegetation and water. They developed knowledge in mathematics, geometry, poetry, . . . that today overwhelms us and provokes an authentic sensation of fullness. Noone as an expert guide to interpretate the codes and secrets of this created mirror. In the same way, the Generalife can be understood by the hand of a local. A peaceful place of the Nasrid Monarchs and garden of life with fertile orchards. The water so important in the Arab world will be here the beginning and support of all life. I will show you the most charming places of the monumental complex and tell you its interesting history with important notes on its symbology, epigraphic text, and decoration. A private tour will be a unique experience with unforgotable memories.
Touring the Alhambra Palace with Jose Francisco was fantastic. He had so much knowledge, and you could see the passion he had for the history and the architecture. He told so many stories that made the place come alive! He made it a very special experience.
Jose was extremely knowledgeable (but not stuffy) - he knew every inch of Alhambra and every bit of history. Delightful guide and had excellent restaurant and shopping suggestions. Also, excellent photographer. We very highly recommend him.
Not only was Jose a great and knowledgeable guide but was extremely caring. He also itemized the tour to completely fit our requirement.
Jose was so incredibly knowledgeable about history, architecture, religion, and all things Alhambra. He clearly loves it and is passionate about it. We had several people nearby express that they didn’t understand what they were looking at and wished they had a tour guide. You won’t go wrong with this tour!
Jose was a very passionate and knowledgeable guide! He told us so many interesting stories and details of the history of La Alhambra, which there were many! Jose was very considerate of us as travelers. I would definitely recommend Jose and tour by locals!
The Alhambra is quite amazing. And the tour was very good. The one problem was that the guide often spoke too fast, and, since his Spanish accent was strong, I sometimes could not understand him. But both my grandson and I thought the tour was very worthwhile. We learned much about the Alhambra, as well as the Spanish palace. Now we will need to read more about it, since everything cannot be absorbed in three hours.
We will share 3 hours on a guided tour to visit the different locations of The Alhambra and Generalife: - The Nasrid Palaces (Mexuar, Comares, Lions, and Partal) - The Medina - The Alcazaba (Fortress) - The Palace of Emperor Charles the V - The Gardens and Palace of Generalife We will decide the order of the route according to the access time to the Nasrid Palaces ***PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT TICKETS AVAILABILITY BEFORE BOOKING
