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.
