Hi! I'm Silvia. I grew up walking between masterpieces and I consider myself sensitive with art as my mom is an official art restorer at the Royal Palace and Prado Museum!

I admire people full of knowledge who can speak about anything so I try to study a bit every day to become one of those people. On the other hand I love foreigners and how they can show you different ways to see life, I also enjoy walking, traveling, sharing. . .

I found in my profession the best way to have it all together so I couldn't be happier when I became an official guide 10 years ago, and you are going to feel it!!!

Since I was little I wanted to become a guide so I started my career pretty soon, I have a degree in Art History (it takes 5 years in Spain) and I continue studying history of Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and other places reading books about it.
I learned 6 languages, although I prefer to tour in english because I believe having a broad vocabulary is really important.

I guarantee I'll take you to visit all the sites with the feeling of having a local friend who makes sure that your stay is full of pleasant surprises, because empathy is my best skill .

We will talk about hidden treasures and rarely-told stories that blend with the city must sees.

I will offer you a mix of all tours, mystery, history, art, legends, literature, . . . . The most interesting things, the most curious stories. A PRISM, a different vision about the city and hopefully life.

You are the ultimate boss and decide what to see and how many stops you want to do along the way. And I'm just there to make you notice where are you passing through, to make you observe instead of just looking , to tell you stories , and help you learn about the language and culture.

With this activity im going to show a hidden gem of Spain.

Did you know that bulls are the guardians of the most extensive ecosystem in Spain?

The fighting bull is born and raised in the countryside, in the Dehesa (Pasture). The pasture is a large dryland estate with abundant grasslands and trees, generally holm oaks, oaks, and ash trees. In fact, in the pasture we are going to visit, we find holm oaks that are among the oldest in the Community of Madrid.

Pasture forms a landscape of 3 million hectares in Spain, compared to the 2. 4 million hectares of olive trees. These are protected spaces where tree felling is not allowed.

The Spanish pasture is an agrosilvopastoral system with a unique ecosystem and biodiversity in the world, characterized by the abundance of grazing land.

Sustainable Bull Farm + Seasonal Gastronomy

"Sevilla has a special colour" is a saying everybody knows here. And probably all you have heard about Spain you can still see it there, such as flamenco, toros, catholic kings, free tapas, beautiful fans, moles patterns, horse carriages, happy and lazy people. . .

Did you know that Sevilla host the biggest gothic cathedral in the WORLD?

Alcazar in Sevilla (Arabian Castle) is also the recording turntable of "Game of thrones". And the most impressive place Plaza de España, that appears in Star Wars, was built for the international Exhibition 1929.

Walking round Sevilla is living a movie, and experience you shouldn't miss if you are visiting this country, thanks to the fast train we can easily go and return on the day and you will not feel tired.

Enjoy a day in Sevilla, the most "Traditional Spanish" Town

Come with me on this tour and you will be able to visit the inside of the Royal Palace with an official art restorer's daughter as if you were part of the Royal Family, without bookings or waiting queues!

As a Historian, I will share with you the most anecdotic parts of Madrid's history in this building, but making it short and sweet so you don't feel overwhelmed with kings' names and remote dates.

You will also get to know the past of the city with a very special guide. I will make you understand in full the origins of Madrid, the catholic background, the architecture and how life was in the middle ages.

I'll make sure you have a different view and get some advices to make the most of your time here!
