Welcome to my city, Granada. I am Blanca and I will be very happy to show you and explain in depth the bewitching heritage of this historic Andalusian city, which displays unique treasures of art bequeathed to us by different cultures. My passion for history and aesthetics brought me to study Philosophy and Arts. I earned a master degree from the University of Granada and I am a licensed guide, so that I can conduct tours in all monuments, including the Alhambra. I am an expert in Semiotics and Aesthetics, and I am particularly interested in deciphering the codes that reveal to us the significance of the rich and multicultural heritage of the city: the magic of the Alhambra palaces and gardens, the Sacred Geometry present in Alhambra Palace and also in the Christian monuments, such as the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel and so many other hidden treasures. My tours are private and fully customizable, to suit your special needs and interests. It will be my pleasure to explain thoroughly and in a lively way this fascinating history and beauty. Degree in Philosophy, Degree in History and Arts, University of Granada. Official licensed tour guide, expert in Medieval Art & History I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver

Overview of your Malaga tour

" Contemplate my beauty and you will understand my being". This is the first verse of a poem carved on the walls of the Palace of the Lions, which recreates in a codified way, the image of the Garden of Eden. I will tell you the secrets of the walls, entirely wrapped by delicate decorations with floral motifs and geometric patterns, displaying the same texture of the oriental rugs and fine tissues. They also reveal poems carved in an elegant Arab calligraphy, which convert this architecture in an extraordinary book of poetry. You will also discover during this tour the Generalife palace outside the city walls, which preserves in its courtyard a unique medieval garden. After exploring this fascinating complex, I can show you the historic center of Granada where Christian and Muslim monuments feature a unique multicultural heritage. Are you ready?

This was a walking tour through the Alhambra UNESCO World Heritage site with tour guide Blanca. It included collection from our ship at the port of Malaga, delivery to the Palace and return to the port. Blanca was an engaging, passionate and knowledgeable guide who has an intimate understanding of the site's history and culture. She also went above and beyond by helping us with a lunch reservation as well as arranging transport to the restaurant and liaising with our driver. Excellent excursion. Highly recommended.

I took the tour of Alhambra with Blanca. She was so knowledgeable and interesting. She has a degree in philosophy of religion. She explained the religious history of the Muslims, Jews, and Christians involved in the construction and maintenance of the Alhambra. It was so compelling learning how all religions are so amazingly similar. Blanca was friendly, informative and a pleasure to be with. I really enjoyed her enthusiasm. I felt like I was with an old friend. And Blanca’s storytelling recreated how it was 700 years ago, how people lived and how the various kingdoms interacted. I love history and Blanca was so interesting to listen to and discuss the region’s history. Truly an enjoyable and educational experience. The time passed so quickly which to me is the sign of an interesting guide. Blanca was just great. I highly recommend her as a tour guide

What a terrific tour! Our driver met us promptly at the port; communication between our drivers ( one to Alhambra and one on the return to the port) was well coordinated. From beginning to end, Blanca's loving personality, enthusiasm for guiding, and profound, detailed knowledge of the Alhambra and history made this tour a highlight of our Spain travels. If a 6 star rating were available, we'd give it to Blanca- she is that awesome!

We only had one short day to visit Granada and the Alhambra, and Blanca did a great job helping us make the most of our day. Then, when I left my cell phone in the cab like a dummy, she tracked it down for me in short order. Great tour and she saved the day!
