Apply as a collaborator in Las Alpujarras

Al-Andalus Experience has been connecting travellers with local knowledge since 2007. We are a sustainable tourism and local development studio with infrastructure, global distribution, and editorial reach across Andalusia and beyond. If you guide, host, cook, or make things, we provide the coaching, content, and booking integration to place your work in front of the people who are already looking for it.

What we offer

A marketing and distribution studio for local tourism — not a listing site. We produce editorial content, manage city gateway pages, and connect your experience to travelers who already care about this region.

We handle booking infrastructure, calendar sync, and coordination across channels. You keep your own approach, your own rates, and your own relationship with the people you host.

Onboarding includes coaching, content development, and integration into our existing city gateways. No monthly fees. Global Distribution Channels and Regular Traveller References

Built by hand in Andalusia since 2007. Some tools are digital. All values are local.
Collaboration

Ways to collaborate

Run on the platform as-is

You already guide, host, or run an experience. We connect you to our booking and distribution infrastructure, GDS, city gateways, and shared earning plans. Your ground work stays yours — our codebase and market reach add distribution without replacing what you do.

Get started on the platform

Adapt resources with coaching

You have an established brand or specific needs. Our skill and practice plan sessions help you tailor editorial templates, city gateways, and operational tooling to your identity — building on what already exists rather than starting over.

Book coaching sessions

Bring your craft, use our codebase

You bring the guiding, photography, and ground operation. Our codebase, GDS connections, distribution policies, and team support are already in place — you plug in. Shared earnings, shared momentum. No need to rebuild what exists.

Granada — city guiding

“I learned to guide from my uncle, who learned from his mother. The network gave me a way to reach travelers who were already interested in the history of the Albaicín, without me having to manage bookings or marketing.”

Córdoba — food and craft

“I learned to cook from my grandmother in the old quarter. The development program helped me structure what I knew into a coherent experience.”

Las Alpujarras — artisan workshops
