The experience I propose consists of a totally private visit which does not admit other reservations of other clients for the same tour. Because of this, there is complete flexibility in relation to duration, route, breaks and others that may be required in relation to the route. This exclusivity of having my attention in a single reservation, allows me to address very calmly and interactively the meaning of the monument and the relationship it may have for my clients. Especially because of my background as an art historian, which is precisely the root of my personal style as a guide, which consists in the search for understanding the aesthetics of the monument. This is based on a balance harmony of three elements: water, light and gardens. Together they form the paradise that is the main theme and vertical axis of the monument of Islamic art but will be reintegrated into Christian culture. That is why it has been declared a UNCESCO World Heritage Site.
