About Tour Guide Manu B.

Hello! My name is Manu. I am master architect, master in Historical Construction Techniques and licenced guide.

I studied architecture in Granada and during the degree I also worked as urban photography teacher and editor in an arts magazine. I finished in 2015 and I did an internship in Yokohama National University in Japan. After that I worked for the University of Castilla La Mancha, where I did some restorations and started working with heritage architecture.

With COVID pandemic I started painting realism focused works, from domestic elements that in 2025 led me to be selected in the National Realism Museum of Almeria as one of the 24 most representative young realist painters in the country.

In 2018 I started my own architecture studio and got an official guiding licence complemented with the official guiding licence of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba I obtained in 2023.

So since then I work running my own projects and collaborating with different companies while showing the Andalusian architecture , heritage, history and urbanism in the cities of Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla, Malaga and Cádiz.

So if you are travelling to Andalucia it will be a pleasure to guide you around these cities!

“Day trip to Cordoba- Manu is your guide”

We wanted to see the mosque cathedral in Cordoba. Given the dense history and architectural complexity, Manu B was our perfect guide. He is smart, knowledgeable, and pointed out many facts and points of interest for us. Our group of 3 learned so much and it was truly memorable, the best time spent in Cordoba and we were very fortunate to have Manu to guide us. He even suggested a great place for us to have lunch, away from the tourist crowd, great recommendation of food for us to try. If you are going to Cordoba, make sure you requests as your guide!! Plus he took excellent photos for us :)

“Manu is fantastic ”

Manu is an excellent guide. His English is impeccable, he is extremely organized and knowledgeable about the Alhambra and Spanish history in general. He made the Alhambra come alive for us, painting pictures in our minds of how it was built and occupied centuries past. We saw Granada, Sevilla, and Cordoba on this trip and our party agrees Granada was our favorite. Since all we did in Granada was see the Alhambra with Manu, I can’t help but think he had everything to do with it.

Thank you very much for your kind words Molly!
