I am an official and self-employed tour guide in the city of Granada, where I was born and have lived almost all my life. I offer visits of all kinds, adapting to the needs of my clients, both in the historic center of Granada and in the Alhambra. After a few years as a Tourist Guide in Venice, I have finally returned home, to Granada, where I will be very excited to tell you the best stories about my beloved city. Granada, the city of the Alhambra, and I myself will always wait for you with open arms.
On this tour we will walk through the most important and enchanting places in the center of our city, discovering its fascinating history that has already amazed people from all over the world.
We will meet in Plaza Nueva, in the heart of the historic center of Granada. From there we will take a very special journey: we will discover the history of the city in chronological order!
The character of a city is always linked to that of the different peoples who built and inhabited it. And there were many peoples who inhabited Granada, but those who built and lived here the most were the Muslims of Al-Ándalus and the Christians who arrived later.
And that is why Granada is a Muslim and Christian city, and traces of these two cultures await us around every corner.
First of all we will go to Albaicin, the ancient Muslim city of Granada, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, discovering its past and present. We will continue until we reach a magical place from where we will see the most precious jewel of this city, the Alhambra. There we will understand the wonders hidden inside the fortress and its exciting history, all in front of an exceptional panorama.
After getting to know the Muslim city, we will continue forward in history to discover the city built by the Christians who conquered Granada after about eight centuries.
We will stop at Plaza Isabel la Católica, where we will find an Italian sailor who had finally managed to have the support of a Spanish queen to begin a journey that would change the history of the whole world.
Afterwards, we will continue towards the Cathedral area, the greatest sign of the Christian victory. We will learn about the history of the Catholic Kings, the Christian conquerors, and probably the most important kings in the entire history of Spain. In fact, we will stop in front of the Capella Reale, where their burial is still located today.
Already in front of the Cathedral we will stop at every detail of its beautiful baroque facade and talk about its most interesting features.
Finally, we will arrive at Plaza Bibrambla, a very central and excellent place to continue the discovery of Granada and its gastronomy after finishing the Tour.
A local and passionate guide can't wait to show you the wonderful city of Granada and tell you its history. Don't miss the opportunity!
We will meet in front of the fountain in Plaza Nueva. I will bring my Official Guide license. Remember that my name is Roberto!
