Alberto Granado Jiménez (Latin American Spanish: [alˈβeɾto ɣɾaˈnaðo xiˈmenes]; August 8, 1922 – March 5, 2011) was an Argentine–Cuban biochemist, author, and scientist. A youthful friend and traveling companion of Che Guevara during their 1952 motorcycle tour in Latin America, Granado later founded the University of Santiago de Cuba School of Medicine. He authored the memoir Traveling with Che Guevara: The Making of a Revolutionary, which served as a reference for the 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries, in which he was played by Rodrigo de la Serna. An elderly Alberto Granado makes a short appearance at the end of the film.
