Hello! I’m Carla, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Barcelona! Born and raised in this magical city, my deep connection to its history, culture, and vibrant energy has inspired me to share its wonders with travelers from all over the world. When I’m not guiding tours, you’ll find me sailing, diving at the seas and also you find me hiking or biking through the countryside, exploring local markets, or diving into art exhibits. For me, every new adventure is an opportunity to discover something unique, and I’m excited to pass that love of discovery on to you. With over 20 years of experience in tourism and more than 14 years as a professional tour guide, I’ve had the privilege of traveling extensively across North and South America, Europe, and beyond. I’ve explored tropical cloud forests, birdwatching in hidden corners, and even dove into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. I specialize in History, Art, and Architecture, and I am an OFFICIAL LICENSED GUIDE in Barcelona, Catalonia, and Spain. My tours offer you PRIORITY access to iconic monuments such as the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, so you can skip the lines and dive straight into the experience. Barcelona is a city full of magic and surprises, and I’d love to help you explore all its treasures—both well-known and hidden. Whether you’re a couple seeking romance, a family looking for a kid-friendly adventure, or a foodie in search of the best local tastes, I can tailor your tour to fit your interests. My goal is not just to show you Barcelona but to help you feel its spirit, its energy, and its unique charm. From its stunning architecture to its rich culture and delicious cuisine, I promise your time here will be unforgettable. Let's add a personal touch to your Barcelona adventure! If you're looking for something extra special, we can get creative together! I offer pottery classes where you can learn the traditional art of clay shaping, or, if you’re a photography enthusiast, I can guide you to the most picturesque spots in the city while helping you capture stunning images. If you’re into nature, we can even enjoy some birdwatching in one of Barcelona's beautiful parks, where the serenity of nature meets the city's vibrant atmosphere. - Licensed Tour Guide in Barcelona and Catalonia (Official License nr. 3450). - Bachelor's Degree in Tourism (Hospitality and Tourism) from CETT, University of Barcelona. - Member of the Professional Association of Licensed Tour Guides in Barcelona (AGUICAT). - Primary and secondary First Aid. - Sailor member at the Federació Catalana de Vela. I do not drive while on tour. I can arrange a private vehicle with a professional driver. We can also use public transport or taxis if needed. Let’s make your visit to Barcelona truly special! I’m here to create a personalized, one-of-a-kind experience just for you. I can’t wait to meet you and guide you through this incredible city!
