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

Mirian did an exceptional job guiding our family's tour of the Alhambra. Her English is excellent, and she did a great job bringing the history of the place alive. There was not a question she did not have the answer for. She even got us front row seats and a discount at a fabulous Flamenco show, even though that had nothing to do with the tour for which we had engaged her. We could not recommend her more highly.

Miriam clearly knows and loves her city! She has a very deep knowledge of the history of Granada and of Spain, in general. Absolutely delightful to spend the morning with her - her English is fantastic.

Mirian is so knowledgeable. She made Alhambra come to life through interesting historical information. She made the experience special. Having a knowledge guide is a must when touring Alhambra!

Mirian couldn’t have been better. She was waiting for us when we arrived and was sensitive to everyone’s physical comfort but what was most amazing were her research materials. She had computer simulations, maps, images of related artifacts and even stories of her childhood playing at Alhambra. We ended up going an hour over because we had so many questions and she answered them all. She even helped us with restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend!!!!

Mirian was AMAZING!! We learned so much from her...she knew everything and gave us such great perspective on the history of Grenada and the Alhambra. Fascinating! We started in a cab touring the city and then to the Alhambra....she was great with our kids (26, 24, 21 years) and it was very apparent how passionate she is about all of it. She even gave us some great lunch/dinner recommendations near out hotel. We are so grateful for our amazing day there!

Our family had a wonderful morning tour of the Alhambra with Mirian. She was very knowledgeable about the historical background as well as explaining the key features of Islamic art. We were traveling with 3 generations and she was able to engage the adults as well as the grandchildren aged 7 and 10. I highly recommend Mirian as a guide.
