About this experience
Are you coming to Granada? Do you have enough time and do not want to miss the events that shaped the city we know today? ? Or maybe you want to visit the Alhambra and then walk around the beautiful Christians and Muslims sights in the city center?
I have designed this tour for those travelers who like to see the Alhambra and then visit the vibrant city, surrounded by tapas bars, silk market and Carvansai bazaar.
You will understand much better the actual local life and the past history. We can walk, talk, visit the most amazing monument in Spain!!
But. . . It's not just about itineraries: a tour guide can make or break your holiday.
I am very proud of the work I provide to my travelers: PERSONABLE, knowledge of the culture, history and love for the local food and its people.

I'll pick you up Plaza Nueva and we go to the Alhambra Palace by taxi (the visit lasts approx. 2 h 45 ') after that we'll go to the heart of the city, through the woods of the Alhambra, a marvellous spot, where the walkways are bordered by water streams which flow all year round.
