CICERONE in the travel guides

RICK STEVE´S SPAIN.
"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".

DESTINATIONS Siesta y Sol Andalucia, Spain June 2008

"We meet Maria Angustias, who escorts us to Albayzin, Granada´s moorish quarter. We tour the Plaza Larga and meander narrow, snaking streets.We note the simplicity of the area´s churches -built quickly and cheaply to replace mosques following the capture of the city from Boabdil by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492. Maria steers us down Granada´s sloping lanes, past the Cathedral and Capilla Real and into the city´s crowded, pedestrian markets"

 

 

TIMES ON LINE. Granada: the complete guide March 25th, 2008

" Everywhere you wander in this Islamic citadel there’s something to captivate: crane your neck for elaborate wood ceilings and marble capitals; eyes peeled for tiled, carved facades and courtyards with pools of water reflecting the buildings. Arrange a tour with city-walk specialists Cicerone and you´ll ejoy it even more"

EXPLORE. Tales of the city.
"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."
