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!

Visit the Alhambra and uncover the fascinating details of its breathtaking and magical architecture. Beyond being a palace or group of palaces, the Alhambra is a walled city that began construction in the 13th century, with a small neighborhood still inside its walls today. Its unique history is intertwined with the lives of its residents, including my family. In the 19th century, during the rise of tourism, entrepreneurs settled in the Alhambra. My great-great-grandfather, Abelardo Linares, was one of them—a photographer who lived and worked within the citadel. Since then, three generations of my family have been born and raised in this extraordinary place, preserving a deep connection to its history. Choose to discover this iconic masterpiece of Al-Andalus architecture with a true local in this specialized architecture tour. I’ll guide you through its wonders, offering insights that will deepen your understanding of this historic treasure.
