Hello! My name is Blanca, and I am an architect with a PhD specializing in heritage, urban studies, and Andalusi architecture. My story is deeply intertwined with Granada and the Alhambra, as I come from one of the few families who have lived within its ancient walls for generations. I grew up calling this monumental complex my home, an extraordinary playground and a place that shaped my passion for architecture, history, and preservation. Inspired by this unique upbringing, I pursued a Master’s in Architecture and Historic Heritage, and later completed my PhD at the University of Granada. My professional experience includes restoration and enhancement projects in the Alhambra and other historic cities, as well as years of teaching and research at prestigious universities. Additionally, I am a member of the Andalusian Academy of Gastronomy and Tourism, driven by my passion for local products and Andalusian wines. This diverse background has given me profound insight into the hidden details of my homeland, allowing me to share its rich culture in a truly immersive way. I offer carefully designed tours of Granada and the Alhambra, tailored for inquisitive travelers who appreciate moving at a relaxed pace to savor every space and story. Beyond Granada, I also organize immersive experiences and itineraries across Andalusia, sharing its diverse culture, architecture and cuisine from a close and personal perspective. With me, you’ll explore Granada as if you were accompanied by a local friend and passionate expert, someone who truly loves Andalusia and wants you to fall in love with it, too. Let me show you the captivating history, and essence of my home—an unforgettable experience awaits!

Overview of your Granada tour

Granada is a city settled on hills and in this tour we go down the historic mound of the Albaicin, to be able to see the evolution of its architecture and its urban landscape. It still has remarkable features of its Hispano-Muslim past and the introduction of Christian spaces after the conquest by the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel and Fernando. This journey starts from the highest spot of the city, with an amazing view of Granada where you will be able to place yourself and understand perfectly why Granada was developed like it was. In the Albaicin we will walk along its narrow streets, looking for the most spectacular viewpoints over the hill of the Alhambra, and visiting different historic buildings of the 11th, 14th and 16th Century. It finishes in the flat area of Granada, in Plaza Nueva, after a wonderful experience of travelling in time.
