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

A combination of beauty and magic, the Alhambra, guided by a local expert, an architect, who can reveals all the secrets for you. Did you know that the Alhambra is another city? I propose you to visit one part of the Alhambra the first day: the agriculture area with a country palace, the Generalife, and the defensive structures. The second day we can focus on the residential area of the Alhambra and the different palaces that shaped the court quarter. This way you can easily walk in this city, not getting tired and learning in every step.

Carmen was a delightful guide, excellent! She had her tote-bag with historical maps in plastic sleeves and explained the complicated history of Granada giving all of the dates and details. Not only is she an architect, she has a family history of members living in the Alhambra. We had a two-day tour and we highly recommend her!

Blanca was hands down the best tour guide I have ever had. And that says a lot, as I am well-traveled and have gone on many, many tours. Her expertise and knowledge about Granada, the Albaicín, and the Alhambra were phenomenal. She is definitely an expert in this area. However, expertise alone does not make a great tour guide. What was also wonderful about Blanca was her ability to make the tour engaging for everyone in our group, from grade school-aged children to grandparents, and with varying levels of interest in history. She is also just a lovely and personable individual. I wish I could do all tours with someone just like her.

Visiting the Alhambra was a bucket list adventure for me, and Blanca made our visit very very special. She was incredibly knowledgable about the Alhambra itself -- the architecture, the gardens, the art and decoration, and the history of the buildings as well as of the region itself. Her background as an architect and a restoration expert gave us with a detailed understanding of this beautiful site. I highly recommend Blanca & this tour!
