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!

Something that surprises everyone is to discover that the Alhambra is not just a palace or a group of palaces. It is an independent walled city which was begun to be built in the 13th Century, and even today there is still a little neighbourhood inside with some families. I belong to one of these families. My great-great-grandfather was an entrepeneur in the 19th century and he bought some houses inside the Alhambra and started a business there. So I grew up having this special citadel as a familiar place. Another detail that is usually unknown is that what we visit is just 5% of the Alhambra real territory. So this Live Virtual Tour is going to bring you the knowledge to see the Alhambra with other eyes: if you have already visited it, you will expand your appreciation; if you haven't visited yet, it will give you a great introduction to such a complex place so you can prepare your special trip.
