Hi, my name is Vanessa, I am a licensed guide from Barcelona. ART HISTORIAN AND LICENSED GUIDE. SKIP THE LINE GUARANTEED AT ALL SITES. I studied Art History at the University of Barcelona (UB), and I coursed the last year of the degree at the University of Parma (Italy), a lovely place where is produced the famous parmigiano cheese! When completed the degree in Italy I came back to Barcelona, but shortly after I decided to move to London (UK) where I lived during a year and a half enjoying a vibrant city full of art ! When I moved back to Barcelona I worked in art galleries and museums, like the National Museum of Art of Catalunya (MNAC), and contemporary art museum CAIXAFORUM. During the year 2006 I passed the exams and I became a Licensed tour guide. Since the first day I love my job! Meeting new people, connecting with them, sharing my passion and enthusiasm for arts. Make the customers fall in love with Barcelona and wish to come back soon is my objective! Even I am specialized in arts, I love to know and let know what's going on in the city ! I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills. Ready for the fresh new restaurants and best places for shopping, but also for the most traditional or authentic places, those ones hidden even for many locals ! I live in the heart of Barcelona. I was born close to the land that inspired Joan Miró (south of Catalonia); and I love to spend many weekends in the Empordà, north of Catalonia, where Salvador Dalí was born. - Official Guide Licence, issued by the Catalan Government. - Bachelor's Degree in Art History, University of Barcelona ( I coursed the last year of the Degree at the University of Parma (Italy) ). - Postgraduate Degree in Communication and Design at Elisava Barcelona. - RASGO Red de Juderías de España (Network of Spanish Jewish quarters), Caminos de Sefarad certification. I don’t have any restriction. I am not a driver and any tour that includes transportation will be provided by a hired driver and vehicle.

The Fundació Joan Miró was created by Miró himself. The white building designed by his friend Josep Lluís Sert, who had designed the Spanish pavilion in the Paris Exposition of 1937, is both low key and exquisite in its shape. It is one of the few museums anywhere in the world in which the complicity between artist and architect underpins the dialogue between the works and the space that houses them. We will do a Miró immersion, one of that experiences that can make you an art lover for life or, if that's already the case, prompt you to renew your vows. The Picasso Museum is a key reference for understanding the formative years of Picasso. The Picasso Museum occupies five large town houses or palaces on the street carrer de Montcada. The original palaces date from the 13th-15th centuries. Furthermore, the museum, opened in 1963, also reveals his deep relationship with Barcelona. There you will understand why Picasso's said: "Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working".
Vanessa’s great expertise made the Miro and Picasso museums an enjoyable and educational experience! With my limited knowledge of modern art, Vanessa’s interpretation of Miro was essential to understanding his vision. Her guidance in the development of both Picasso’s journey in art and the museum itself was enriching. I also appreciated her recommendations for my stay in Barcelona. Highly recommended!
Vanessa was excellent. She has an incredible amount of art knowledge and relayed it in a very understandable way. She was helpful throughout the tour and was very aware of our need. We will definitely ask for her again on future tours.
Thank you Vanessa for an excellent tour. We really enjoyed learning more about Miro and his paintings. We also enjoyed learning more about Miro as a person, not just as an artist.
Vanessa was great! Her knowledge of Miro and Picasso made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. We highly recommend Vanessa if you are wanting a excellent understanding of these artists
Vanessa had an outstanding fund of knowledge. Her tours of the Picasso Museum and Mira Foundation had a nice pace. She was friendly and caring. I highly recommend these tours with Vanessa.
Vanessa was wonderful. She knows her stuff and can answer any questions. She is also a lovely person. Maybe most important, she kept my teens interested! Thank you so much Vanessa!
