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!

Alhambra and Granada monuments without tickets
Overview of your Granada tour
There are many free areas at the Alhambra to visit without the tickets. It is a secret that sadly is not discovered and a lot of people leave the city losing this opportunity. Do not stay with the desire of knowing the magic and history of this wonder of the world. I designed this tour for travelers who could not purchase a ticket and want to visit specific areas by the hand of a guide who makes these places come alive. Not only we will walk around the city wall through the forest of the Alhambra, but also I will take you to the interiors of some Muslims and Christians locations. The landscape and environment from inside are just amazing and I would love to show it to you. As an extra, I could take you to "Carmen of the Martyrs" with its orchards, romantic gardens, historicist palace, caves, and lakes, overlooking the Sierra Nevada and the city of Granada.
