Hola! Hi! Ciao! Marhaba! My name is Ana, and I welcome you to my beautiful city! I'm an official tour guide from Granada, born and raised, and would like to tell you a little more about me, so you could choose me as your next local guide. I have studied Art History at the University of Granada, and then I took a Master's in Production and Researching in History and Fine Arts, so I have all the knowledge to show you this astonishing place. During my last degree year, 2014, I earned a scholarship and I started working as a guide in a museum in the city center, there is where I learned most of my skills as a guide. Is also the time when I realized I would like to work as a tour guide, so I took up languages lessons to apply for the official accreditation. When I finished my Master's, I took a gap year, so I could travel a little around before starting a full-time job. I lived in Liguria, northern Italy, for a while, and also in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was a great experience, I learned a lot about other cultures, and made me improve my Italian and English. Then, I knew I was ready for the hard work. Meanwhile, I started my PhD, sometimes is tough working and studying at the same time, but I think of my thesis as my hobby, and is easier that way. My research concerning the Ph. D. is about Tattoo's History, I know is a little bit rare, but I am very proud of it because mine is the first one! Hopefully, in a couple of years, I will become Dr Ana C. I have also written several articles about Granada, the Alhambra, and the Christian period right after 1492, published in very important magazines. When I have some free time I like to read, a lot. I am also a collector of rare and old books, which is one of my great passions. I do like travelling, and I have been to many places. One of the greatest things about being a guide in monuments like the Alhambra is that you have the opportunity to talk and share experiences with people from all over the world, and for me is a great enrichment. My personality is calm and patient. I know how to manage difficult situations, and politeness is my main rule. But don't worry! I am not serious at all, you will see me always smiling. Do not hesitate in asking me any questions you may have, will be a pleasure to help and provide you with all the information you need. I am very flexible and we can create the perfect tour that suits you. I love what I do, that's the key to my happiness. Hope to see you very soon in Granada! - Degree in Art History, University of Granada (UGR), 2014 - Master in Production and Researching in Art , UGR - PhD student, in History and Arts -currently- UGR - Official Tour Guide, Junta de Andalucía, since 2016 - Mooc about the Alhambra, UGR, 2019 None

Ana is an excellent guide. She is a scholar, and is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Alhambra the way in which it has functioned historically as an intersection between Muslim, Jewish, and Christian experiences. She also pointed out all the elements of the beautiful gardens, and explained the significance of the various fruits and plants. She directed our attention to the artistic elements throughout the palace, which greatly enhanced our visit. She also was patient and helpful, and extremely courteous with us, and we very much enjoyed our time with her. She also arranged for personal taxi service to and from our cruise ship, which was very helpful and made things much easier for us to get to and from Alhambra. Many thanks to Ana for an amazing visit to Alhambra!

We loved our tour with Ana, who taught us so much about the history and architecture of this amazing site. As a guide, Ana was highly professional and well organized, always finding quiet corners where we could talk away from the crowds. She patiently answered our many questions and displayed her deep knowledge of history. After the tour, she nicely gave us recommendations for other places to visit and eat in Granada. Highly recommend if you are serious about learning about the history of the Alhambra and its part in Granada and Spain.

We had a magical afternoon at the Alhambra with Ana, who really brought the place to life for us. She had an impressive range of knowledge regarding the history of the whole citadel and was happy to go off piste from her inbuilt script and answer in depth any questions that we had. There was an experienced English tour guide in our party and he was extremely impressed by Ana’s expertise. She was very relatable and fun to be around while we explored and I have no hesitation in recommending her highly.

Thank you Ana for a lovely tour of the Alhambra. Taken at a gentle pace due to our mobility and with very interesting information imparted about the palaces and gardens. It was clear the gardens would be glorious in early summer but had been tended to give colour even now. Delightful. At the end of the tour Ana pointed out all we needed to know to find restaurants and our options to return to the town centre. Muchas Gracias Ana.

My family loved our tour of the Alhambra with Ana. She is an excellent guide and organized our tour very thoughtfully. Ana has a tremendous amount of historical knowledge, answered all of our questions and helped us to better understand this site and its significance in Spanish history and culture. I highly recommend Ana as a guide.
