Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ana

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!

We found Ana’s profile by chance, and we now fully realize how lucky we were. Ana combines deep knowledge, poetic storytelling, and a love for her mystical city that is inspiring and infectious. I am already looking forward to my next tour with her, and I advise you to book yours as soon as you can. She’s one of a kind and very sought after; so catch her while you can! A true guide!

If you're looking for a local guide, Ana is incredible. She is knowledgable about Granada, the Alhambra, and is willing to adjust and collaborate to make sure her tours focus on the things that matter most to you. She also has a wonderful speaking voice and conducts her tours with excellent pacing to ensure you see what you need to see, but have time to wander, ask questions, and reflect on what you are seeing. Highly recommend!Ana is a wonderful, knowledgable guide!

Our art historian guide, Ana, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful with our toddler. She balanced detailed historical insights for the adults with fun, age-appropriate moments for our little one. A seamless, enriching experience for the whole family! Thank you, Ana! An Amazing Family Experience!

We had a wonderful, interesting, and informative tour of the Alhambra in Granada today. Ana C. Made all the difference between not having a clue about the Alhambra and educating us about it in great detail and an interesting way. Chris: “We had a wonderful tour of the Alhambra, made exceptional thanks to our guide, Ana. Her deep knowledge of the site and its remarkable history brought the experience to life in a way I can’t imagine achieving on my own. While the beauty of the buildings and gardens is undeniable, Ana’s insights into their creation and centuries of significance added an entirely new dimension to our visit. She is also incredibly friendly, approachable, and happy to answer any questions—whether about the Alhambra, Granada, or even local restaurant recommendations. If you have the chance to tour with Ana, take it—you won’t be disappointed! Ligia: “ I had the good fortune of having Ana as our tour guide of Alhambra today. I typically dread tours but she made my experience an absolute pleasure. She is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, spoke slowly and clearly, she was patient and knew how to maneuver her way around the crowd to always give us the perfect view of every area she took us to. I highly recommend her as your tour guide, you’ll be glad you did.‘Ana C. Alhambra tour was fantastic!

Anna is an art historian and it shows in her approach to Alhambra. She shares not just the history of the place but also helps you see the intricate beauty by drawing you to spots you may have missed otherwise and also helping you imagine what it must have been like at its pinnacle. A knowledgeable and engaging tour

I had two tours with Ana, the Alhambra one and the Christian Granada One, and I would definitely recommend both! As an art historian, Ana has an in-depth knowledge that really unlocks the places for you, and she shares the information in a very accessible and engaging way. I had a fantastic experience visiting the Alhambra, the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel and the St Jerome Monastero: Ana made each of these places come alive - I learned so many things that really enhanced my visit in Granada! In addition to this, I asked her for recommendations on books that I could read, and she gave me a very wide choice covering different styles. Ana communicated regularly with me from my first enquiry to the day of the tour, and she is very friendly and passionate about her city - do not hesitate to book a tour (or more!) with her, you'll have a great experience!Fantastic tours!
