My name is Karin. I am German and I came to Granada as a language student in 1994. I wanted to improve my Spanish at the University of Granada after a first professional education in Germany. I fell in love with this country and especially with the South of Spain, Andalusia. It is very rich in history and culture. I decided to stay and to study Tourism in Granada and Seville. At the same time, I began to work as a tour guide for cultural groups throughout Spain. I started guiding in Andalusia but soon I worked in other areas in Spain. I am a very curious person, I love to read and I was always interested in the history of persons, places and the way of life of the people. I have a guiding experience of more than 20 years. Up to the present moment I have done a lot of different tours, like tours with the historic Al-Andalus train throughout Spain, religious groups, pilgrimage tours to the tomb of Saint Jacob in Santiago de Compostela, incentive tours, gastronomic tours, botanical tours, etc. That's still part of my professional life. And as I love to do different tours and themes, I can look over a rich variety of knowledge and experience. This country offers an amazing variety of activities, culture and nature. Since 2015 I got the license as a local guide for Andalusia. That's the reason why I work more and more in Granada and its province. This area is a place of great historical and cultural interest, a real melting point of different races and cultures. I would like to share my fascination and impressions with you. I can offer different tours, stressing on different themes and visiting different places in Granada and its province. I can adapt it to your wishes. I combine my experience as a tour leader throughout Spain with my deep knowledge about local places and topics. I am convinced that it is a great advantage for you. Let me surprise you. . . hope to see you soon. - Degree in Tourism - TEAT (Sevilla) - Official license for guiding in Granada and Andalusia (License from the Government of Andalusia) - Member of AGIP (Association of official guides in Granada). For transport outside Granada, I only use licensed drivers with their authorized limousines.

You are on a Mediterranean cruise and want to visit Granada and the Alhambra? Then I have the right tour for you. I have created a tour in which you visit the palace city of the Alhambra and you get an overview of the historic center of Granada. The Alhambra is considered the most important monument of the islamic period in Europe. I will show you its beauty and explain you how live was inside its walls. The Nasrids could unite for the last time all their knowledge about oriental craftmanship and harmony and build an ideal palace city to demonstrate their power. The second part of the tour will be dedicated to the historic center. Granada was an important city with a rich economy. The best quality of silk was produced in this city. I will give you an overview over the history of Granada and I show you the most important monuments in a walk. Depending on the available time and the entrance time of the Nasrid Palaces I adapt the program of the visit.
You will be picked up at the cruise ship port of Malaga by a professional driver with its limosine. Transfer to Granada (from Malaga 2 hours). Based on the entrance time for the Nasrid Palaces, I will organize the visit of Granada. Visit of the palace city of the Alhambra. We visit the amazing Nasrid Palaces, the heart of the monument, and the Generalife, its summer palace. It will take us nearly 3 hours. Transfer with our limosine to the city center and visit of the historic center (15 min). During a walking tour that I adapt to the time left, I show you the great importance of Granada as a comercial center and silk production area in medieval times and its transformation after the reconquer in 1492. The most interesting christian buildings are the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel. Transfer back to the cruise ship port. End of my service
