GOYO GARRIDO GARCÍA (Cantabria 1.976)
Cantabrian by birth and from Granada by adoption. I grew up in Espinama, a Cantabrian town of about 100 inhabitants in the heart of the P.N. Picos de Europa, surrounded by mountains, mountains and adventures. I was fortunate to have a local mountain club where I started enjoying the mountains, trails, pens, pastures, and mountain routes and the parents who taught me how to move like a fish in the water. When I was only 5 years old I did the Ruta del Cares and when I was 8 years old I started skiing, it seemed that the mountain would always be close to me. Throughout my childhood and adolescence I have dedicated a lot of time to mountain sports, many routes through the mountains, weekends on it. I became a member of the Valdecoro Mountain Club and the Torrelavega Sports Society, both allowed me to get to know and enjoy the Cantabrian Mountains. Once I finished the secondary school studies I started working, but I always work related to the fields, the mountains and animals:

ROSARIO (Benalúa 1.967)
Hello, my name is Rosario and I was born in 1967 in Benalúa, in the heart of the Geopark of Granada and I live there nowadays because I still enjoy its landscapes as the first day.
Since I was a child nature has called me and I studied Biology at the University of Granada, specializing in Botany. After finishing my studies, I continued my education by taking specialization courses and two Masters in Environment and Alternative Energies, as well as the Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitude. During my student years I discovered the mountains and caving, activities that I did assiduously for years and to which I return whenever I can. Thanks to that I have had the opportunity to climb the most emblematic mountains of our country (also in France and Italy) and to go down to the most amazing caves.
I come from a farming family and I still keep some cultivation plots together with two of my brothers and I have also worked regularly giving gardening and nursery courses, and doing environmental work for private companies and different administrations.
I am currently working as a guide in the Geopark of Granada, walking routes through a unique environment that is still largely unknown. For me it is a privilege to show our territory to anyone who comes to know it and interpret the geomorphology and its formation, the different habitats that we can find, as well as the historical and cultural heritage that surprises us in every corner.

LIDIA CASERO GARCÍA (Córdoba 1.985)
Born in Cordoba, I have been living in Granada for more than 8 years.
I grew up in a beautiful village in the countryside of Cordoba surrounded by olive trees and near the CARDEÑA Y MONTORO National Park where I started early to do my first routes and enjoy the mountains with my family.
All my free days have always been dedicated to enjoy outdoor sports, from hiking or biking to climbing.
I started my working life young, complementing it with my studies.
I have always worked surrounded by people, as a guide, children’s instructor, coordinator of activities for the elderly….. It is something that makes me feel fulfilled and satisfied.
Currently my life is still related to the mountain both personally and professionally, I work as a trekking and hiking guide and I enjoy going climbing, trekking and via ferrata with my family.
That’s why I moved to Granada, to enjoy its mountain.
