      "CICERONE is one of the few official tour companies endorsed by the Junta de Andalucia offering a guided "walktour" into the heart of Granada. Meeting daily by the Townhall at Plaza del Carmen.... Where 2 met up with Rosa Terrones to experience the tour. Whilst her official role is a tour guide, she is more of a storyteller, walking through the centuries as well as the city, as you let your imagination stretch back to when rivers and bridges once criss- crossed the now busy streets, reliving Granada´s rich and chequered past.
      ...The tour offers snippets of information, facts and details that you won´t neccessarily find elsewhere...Rosa´s enthusiasm and passion for the rich history of the city is contagious as she talks and pinpoints Granada´s most significant buildings.
      What works in this tour is that it gives you something that you just can´t get from a guidebook: the snippets of information and the storytelling experience."

      "CICERONE, run by Maria & Rosa... each guide is excellent, and they describe the fitful and fascinating changes the city underwent as it morphed from a Moorish capital to a Christian one 500 years ago...you´ll weave together bits of the Moorish heritage that survive around the cathedral".

      "Dear Rosa, thank you again for your very instructive tour, last Sunday morning. You succeeded in turning our minds to what happened some 500- 600 years ago. Your quick information about Sapin´s history was clear and gave me through for the similarities in rise and fall of empires and their culture." Roelien van Empel December 2007

      "Pour Eva Enríquez “Madame, De retour en France, je tiens à vous remercier une fois encore pour votre accueil à Grenade. Grâce à vous, et à la grande qualité de vos explications, j´ai pu découvrir l´âme profonde d´une capitale magique. Je n´oublierai pas de sitôt les ruelles embaumées de l´Albaicin, la sépulture des rois catholiques au les splendeurs infinies de l´Alhambra. Merci encore, très sincèrement, d´avoir pendant deux jours ouvert mes yeux et mon esprit sur votre ville et sur votre ville et sur son passé si prestigieux."

Started off outside the town hall of Granada... Corral del Carbón... silk market... Cathedral...we went to the lower slopes of the Albayzin... narrow streets, white houses...Finally we went past the extremely shallow Darro river to Plaza Nueva." Travelblog. Org.

      "avendo sentito alla TV spagnola di una visita guidata del centro storico della città, ci rechiamo a piazza del Carmen, dove... seguiamo una guida spagnola nel quartiere Albaicin e nella zona intorno alla cattedrale. La donna ci illustra la storia della città da quando era musulmana fino o dopo la Reconquista quando ogni moschea veniva rimpiazzata da chiesa i musulmani obbligati a convertirsi e gli ebrei cacciati via... Il giro, molto interessante e ben condotto". Alberto i Carolina. www.inostroviaggi.it/dispagna.html. 12th September 2004.
