I am the third generation of tour guides in my family and I am also the founder of the first local Tour Agency in Europe which puts together local Heritage, genre fiction, multimedia & crafted entertainment to enhance your experience when visiting my hometown! I am responsible of the first tour agency ever producing media as the internationally awarded "Granny's Anniversary" short film and the feature film "The Golden Witch" that is currently in post-production. These audiovisual products promote Cordoba in a different way containing details about local food & wine or places to visit among other references. Besides this, what I do is offer tailor-made cultural visits based on the personal interest of each client. Beyond that, I also offer experiences that mix live tour guiding, media projection, fictional contents, sound & music plus life radio broadcasting to personalize your tour. In other words, on the one hand, I will help you discover the heritage of Cordoba, a city with 4 different UNESCO World Heritage accreditations, through private tours made to your liking. On the other hand I'll also provide narrations that put this heritage into value through 100% original experiences.

I had an outstanding tour of Córdoba with Joaquin. His knowledge of the history of Spain—and especially Córdoba—is truly impressive. He has an excellent grasp of the region’s past, including Al‑Andalus and the history of the Sephardic Jews. What made the tour exceptional was his attention to small, subtle details that most visitors would easily miss. He also shared...
This rates as one of the finest guided tours of our lives (and we have done many all over the world). Joaquin was beyond knowledgeable and his grasp of architecture and history was second only to his wonderful personality. Worth every penny !!!
Joaquin gave us a fabulous tour of the Mosque-Cathedral. He has great insight into its history and the relationship to the Christianity/Islam/Judaism.
Joaquin provided us with an energetic brief tour of the Mosque. Every minute was packed with information about the multiple cultures and history of this Cordoban landmark.
