My name is Josep, and I arrived casually to be a tourist guide in 2008, when I did my exams to be a Licensed Catalan Guide. So I'm not the tipical guide who studied Tourism but is not interested in other aspects. . . not, that's not my case. My case is the opposite: I found tourism because it likes me, not because I studied, it's different. I've been teaching since 2000, and I thought that touring would be more or less the same than Teaching, but with people more motivated. Also, I could talk about my subjects of interest, subjects I never studied but I read a lot: History, Art, Music, Food, Jewels, Fashion, Gardening, Catalan Culture, Jews, Politics. . . Aesthetics basically and Society, always mixed. To be a good guide you have to read and be curious, not a gossip person, but interested in the world and the people, and anecdotes are very significant to explain History and life. My background is Political Science and Economics, so subjects very different to my hobbies. I think is important to be transversal in Life, not to cultivate the same things in all the aspects of your daily life. World is becoming more and more transversal, transgobal, and I can offer a service touring people interested in curiosities, anecdotes and comparison to other cultures, but seeing the Catalan point of view, with content and synthesis. And also manners. To be a guide you need to be patient and also to be a good listener. So don't wait and book a tour with me! I'll show you Catalonia and all the peculiarities of this smart land !! Degree in Political Science (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Diplomma in Business Studies ( Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) Catalonia Licensed Guide-Number 2787 Studies of Ballet, Sol-fa and Transverse Flute, (Conservatori de Música Oscar Esplà-Alacant) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Discover the beauties of the Pyrenees country...
Overview of your Barcelona tour
A deep green country. . . Let's say, a country of snow above all. . . green shadows, grass, wild horses and cows. . . tranquility. . . A country of lakes. . . This is Andorra, natural beauty. Are we going to check that? I will show you!!! Let's go!! The country of the Pyrenees is the 17th smallest state in the world, with 180 square miles, and as legend says, it was founded by Emperor Charlemagne. Andorra is too famous for its standard of living, for being a tax haven place, where millionaire residents live, and this is seen in the high-end shops of the capital Andorra la Vella, especially jewellery shops. This tour combines the alpine glamour of the capital with the green stages of the Andorran mountains. It's perfect to see Alpin views of the Pyrenees, in Summer and in Winter. It's possible to reshort the Andorra stay and visit France, exactly the spa city of Ax-les-Thermes, famous because of the water temperature of sulphurous hot springs (77 to 172 °F). The center of the village is the Lepers' Pond
