Here’s an overview of your tour

Granada is a city full of mystery, secrets, and hidden gems.

Is very well known because of Alhambra, but what about the other great monuments?

I want to show the visitors how great Renaissance art was displayed in my city, and how amazing are the Christian monuments.

I was born and raised in Granada, but I lived also abroad for a while... is then that I realized how beautiful and captivating my city is and I decided I would like to live here forever!

Because my family was very involved with the local church I spent a great amount of time in St Jerome Monastery when I was a child. I was amazed by the great architecture and paintings all over the place, I wanted to learn more... so when I grew up I studied Art History at the University and now I´m an official tour guide!

The Cathedral of Granada is known as the "Catedral of the Light" because of its immaculate white walls.

Did you know the Catholic Monarchs are buried inside the Royal Chapel?

And St Jerome Monastery is truly a hidden gem... you´ll never guess how great is inside.

Come with me for an off-the-beaten-path tour and discover these great examples of art.
