Hola! Hi! Ciao! Marhaba!
My name is Ana, and I welcome you to my beautiful city!
I'm an official tour guide from Granada, where I was born and raised.I would like to tell you a little more about myself so you can choose me as your next local guide.
I studied Art History at the University of Granada.Then I took a Master's in Production and Researched History and Fine Arts, so I have all the knowledge to show you this astonishing place.
During my university senior year, in 2014, I earned a scholarship and started working as a guide in a museum in the city center, there is where I learned most of my skills as a guide.It was also the time when I realized I would like to work as a tour guide, so I took up language lessons to apply for official accreditation.
When I finished my Master's, I took a gap year, so I could travel a little around before starting a full-time job.
I lived in Liguria, northern Italy, for a while, and also in Edinburgh, Scotland.It was a great experience, I learned a lot about other cultures, and made me improve my Italian and English.Then, I knew I was ready for the hard work.
Meanwhile, I started my Ph.D.and sometimes is tough working and studying at the same time, but I think of my thesis as my hobby, and is easier that way.
I have also written several articles about Granada, Alhambra, and the Christian period right after 1492, published in very important magazines.
When I have some free time I like to read, a lot.I am also a collector of rare and old books, which is one of my greatest passions.I do like traveling, and I have been to many places.One of the best things about being a guide in monuments like the Alhambra is that you have the opportunity to talk and share experiences with people from all over the world, and for me is a great enrichment.It's like traveling and being home.
My personality is calm and patient.I know how to manage difficult situations, and politeness is my main rule.But don't worry! I am not serious at all, you will see me always smiling.
Do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have, will be a pleasure to help and provide you with all the information you need.I am very flexible and we can create the perfect tour that suits you.
I provide Alhambra Tours, City Center, Old Town Albaicin, Sacromonte, and Christian Buildings.
I can organize day trips from all over Andalusia providing private transportation.
I love what I do, that's the key to my happiness.
Hope to see you very soon in Granada!
