VINCCI TALKS – EPISODE 13: “THE ART OF LIVING IN GRANADA”

In this new season of our #podcast Vincci Talks, we continue exploring every VINCCI DESTINATION.

Each city where Vincci Hoteles is present becomes a stage full of life, culture and unique emotions. But we don’t want to discover them just in any way: we do so through the voices of local people — leaders in their fields and deeply connected to each corner — who show us that authentic perspective one can only have when a place is lived from within.

In this new episode, we delve into the soul of Granada, a city that is pure light, history and timeless beauty. A land where tradition, art and modernity coexist in perfect harmony.

To guide us, we have two voices that perfectly embody this spirit:

Ana Hernández Manrique, better known on social media as Azul Místico, one of the most influential content creators in Spain; and Sergio Castro, president of the Granada Business Association and a renowned interior architect.

Join us in this new instalment of Vincci Talks, recorded at our charming Vincci Albayzin 4*, where we explore what “The Art of Living Granada” truly means: its streets that look like paintings, its welcoming character, its traditions and that unique blend of cultures that make it an unforgettable destination.

Our first guest, Ana Hernández, originally from Granada and an avid traveller, reveals that “the art of living Granada” begins by discovering it slowly, letting yourself be guided by its alleyways, its cármenes — those traditional houses with patios and fountains — its light and its essence.

For her, “Granada is a city to be lived slowly”, where getting lost is almost a way of finding oneself again. Ana talks to us about the quiet corners that inspire, about the Cármenes as small creative oases, and about what makes every traveller want to return after experiencing the city.

Our second guest, Sergio Castro, with an expert eye in design, tradition and local development, shares how Granada has evolved over the past decades into a modern and forward-thinking city without losing its authenticity.

For Sergio, “Granada is a city to live, to feel, to walk” — a city where light takes centre stage and where each neighbourhood, from the Albaicín to the Realejo or Zaidín, tells a different story.

His vision, which combines culture, business and architecture, brings us closer to a Granada that looks to the future while remaining loyal to its roots.

Lively traditions such as La Tarasca, Corpus Christi, Holy Week, the Day of the Cross or neighbourhood festivities; viewpoints from which the city reveals its magic; gastronomic experiences ranging from its most iconic tapas to traditional dishes like olla de San Antón or pionono… Granada has it all, and our guests encourage us to experience it like a local: with open senses and an open heart.

If you haven’t discovered Granada yet, this episode of Vincci Talks: “The Art of Living Granada” will reveal reasons that only those who love it can share. And if you’ve already been, it will awaken your desire to return to a city that always leaves a mark.
