Experience to repeat - Manuel’s kindness, sympathy and wisdom capture your attention from the start of the visit. It is amazing your knowledge about the Al-Andalus and history in general, hence you are an official tour guide. I definitely recommend the experience of booking a guided tour with him so you don’t miss out on detail and understand what your own eyes are seeing.
We will count on Manuel for our next visit along the coast of Granada
