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

The Alhambra was created and built as an independent city from Granada since the year 1238. That is why it had a productive area full of orchards and farms which has left some interesting remains. This area occupied a whole mountain which still is 500 hectares (1. 235 acres). The picture of this tour is showing that mountain. In this walking tour we hike in a relaxed pace along some amazing remains of this old territory on top of the hill above the Alhambra. It is a tour with beautiful landscapes, amazing views to the Alhambra and Granada, and loads of surprises. The duration and difficulty of the hike will be tailored to your preferences. The route is very easy and can last between 3 and 4 hours, depending on your pace and choice. Let me know your thoughts so I can plan accordingly. If you like very easy hiking, don't miss the opportunity to go with an expert to this outstanding area!
