I’m an experienced and educated private tour guide in Barcelona and Catalonia, offering immersive, tailor-made experiences that explore the region’s rich history, art, architecture, and gastronomy. My tours highlight everything from modernist landmarks and medieval Jewish quarters to Roman ruins and hidden corners of the city. We delve into unique themes such as the Convivencia of medieval Spain, the Indianos period, the lives of Picasso and Dalí, and, of course, Mediterranean cuisine — especially Catalan flavors. For those interested in shopping with soul, I also offer exclusive access to vintage and artisan shops, where you can discover rare ceramics, antiques, and handmade treasures. I’ve been guiding since 2016, a path that grew from my love of food, storytelling, and culture. It’s a role that led me back to university, where I study history to deepen my knowledge and share it with travelers from all over the world. Every tour is a conversation. I believe there’s something fascinating in everyone — and I love the exchange of stories, ideas, and laughter along the way. Let me show you the best of Barcelona, Montserrat, Girona, and beyond — with heart, insight, and unforgettable moments. - English studies at Dalarna University, Sweden - currently studying History at Stockholm University - Meisner and Chubbuck Technique courses at The Actors Workshop, Barcelona, Spain - Short film screenwriting course at Bigoli Studios, Barcelona, Spain - Produced documentary film "Killing Gävle" available to watch on The Guardian, UK
