Hola!
I was born in Valencia and lived during the very exciting 80-90's here, until I completed my Bachelor's in Art.
I have spent half of my adult life in Northern Europe, in UK and Finland. I visit Helsinki regularly and spend some months each year there, as it's my second home. In Helsinki I discovered my passion for guiding, and started this new profession (I am an official guide in Helsinki and Valencia).

But I have to confess that the love to my city has dragged me back here, to the South. The Mediterranean way of life, the light, the people and the city of Valencia are worth to be enjoyed every minute, and I would like to share this wonderful city with you!

I am a researcher, photographer and teacher for seniors. I'm in absolute love with Art, Design and Architecture, and I also enjoy hearing all the stories that every city has to offer, and see and understand how time shapes residents and neighbourhoods. Most of my free days are spent by reading or exploring around.

I've been in the Tourism business for over 12 years now, and living in different countries makes me understand international travellers, your needs and interests. I am used to be with all kinds of travellers, from politicians, artists or tv journalists to teenagers or families.

I like to keep my tours as ecological as possible, green tourism and low foot print is the future. So small/walking groups are my favourite and what I hope to provide.

Lets get together and discover Valencia!

This tour is a great choice if you have a busy day planned but still want to acquire a deep knowledge of the old town's gems and enjoy a light and easy guided experience. It is recommended especially if you want to have some free time in city centre or explore a market there afterwards.

We will walk across the oldest area in town and stop in the most iconic and picturesque spots. History can be understood easily as we walk from the Roman Empire era to the 20th Century in no time!

Valencia's old quarters are very compact. We will stroll for a couple of hours along flat ground in a small area with very restricted traffic, where there are so many beautiful buildings and history to go through! One of them, The Silk exchange, is a UNESCO Heritage since 1996 and one of Valencia's Gothic jewels.

The Valencian centre has been one of my favourite areas to be around since I was small, so I'm genuinely excited to show you around it.

Old Town Valencia - Express Walking Tour in Spain

By choosing this tour, you will get a complete overview of my lovely Valencia! We will discover the nicest spots and see all the contrast that the city offers.

"The City of Science and Arts" has been located in our old river bank for almost 20 years. Its futuristic design, by our local Architect Calatrava, surprises everyone and has been the background for documental and movies. including the new upcoming Star Wars series!

We will also visit the city center, driving to the old town where our walking tour will begin. Entering the city through the Serranos Towers, we'll see the Cathedral, Generalitat and the old roman city grounds, finishing by the market area, where we'll see the UNESCO World Heritage of the Silk Exchange and you'll also have the chance to go inside the Central Market as well.

Valencia is a city of artistic people, and you can feel that in the city's pulse. When I was an Art student myself, I used to stroll the streets just to get inspiration from every detail on the buildings.
