Granada lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in Spain, overlooking a fertile valley well protected by mountains and located only 20 km in a straight line from the Mediterranean coast. It was the last capital of Al-Andalus, the Arab-ruled territory of the Iberian Peninsula, where this culture reached its greatest architectural refinement with the palatial city of the Alhambra. In Granada, past and present coexist harmoniously: from the maze of narrow streets inherited from Arab urban planning, one passes through Renaissance squares and churches to reach the contemporary areas, where the University —one of the oldest in Spain— still plays a key role. The city features buildings by Cruz & Ortiz, Carlos Ferrater, Álvaro Siza and Campo Baeza, among others, and stands out especially for the delicate and intelligent interventions of its most admired contemporary architect, Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas.
GA-ANDALUSIA
We specialize in organizing architectural tours and study trips throughout Andalusia: Seville, Granada, Málaga and Córdoba, but also Jerez and Ronda are part of our area of expertise.
We offer a wide range of ready-to-book tours, but we also love to design tailor-made experiences: meetings with local administrations and professionals, lectures, and thematic visits focusing on topics such as climate adaptation, social housing or sustainability — often combined with gastronomic experiences in architecturally interesting settings.
Our tours are conducted in Spanish, German and English.
