Hi everybody — after 14 months out, I'm back. I'm Teo, a distinctive, stylish individual who is a delightful and playful guide. I’m in love with my city and genuinely enjoy living here. Why? Just let me show you around! Come explore unique places and intriguing stories that you will discover with me, and you'll create beautiful memories for a lifetime. I studied architecture at UCV in Caracas, Management and Design at Parsons in New York, and Fashion at Llotja in Barcelona. I spent several years working in Spain, Italy, and Japan on editorials, catwalks, cinema, and teaching at the university. However, I discovered my true passion: guiding people through cities, sharing insights about culture, art, and the beautiful places around the world, particularly in my hometown. Consequently, I pursued my most recent degree in Tourism Information and Hospitality. My experiences encompass various facets of the area, including modernist architecture, hidden gems, Jewish quarters, Roman relics, Nazis and Spies in Barcelona, and much more. During these tours, you'll discover the medieval period, known as “Los Americanos or Indianos,” and the importance of the Industrial Revolution in the city. You'll also delve into the three major transformations of Barcelona, the lives and works of Gaudi, Picasso, and others, as well as Mediterranean cuisine, especially that of Catalonia and Spain. Beyond cultural and historical exploration, I provide a unique opportunity for boutique and antique shopping. I'll lead you to exclusive, hidden shops and markets, connecting you with unique treasures and vintage collectibles. Whether you're interested in vintage Catalan ceramics, artisan jewelry, or rare antiques, you can take home a piece of Catalonia's rich culture and history. And remember: IT'S YOUR DAY! My aim is to help you create unforgettable memories! I personalize all my tours because everyone is unique, and customizing the experience is where the journey will lead us. I'm very flexible and prepared to adjust any tour to accommodate your specific needs, interests, or requests. I hold a degree in Architecture (with a focus on history), Management and Design, as well as another in Fashion. I have a Master's in Urban Spaces and a Bachelor's degree in Tourism Information and Hospitality. Additionally, I possess a Certificate in the Aesthetics of the XVIII Century. My tours are always PRIVATE TOURS and EXCLUSIVE for you and your group only. While I do not drive during the tours, I can arrange for a car and a dedicated driver for those tours where the vehicle is not included, ensuring your comfort. Please consult for LARGER PARTIES

Come with me to a beautiful and unique rock formation, sculpted by thousands of years of wind and rain, the house of our lovely "Moreneta" and the monastery of Montserrat, a Catholic pilgrimage spot founded in the 12th century, the inspiration place for many great artists as Gaudi, Wagner or Goethe and then enjoy an unforgettable experience while walking among our vineyards discovering the virtues of biodynamic farming (my favorite family-run cava winery in the Penedes region). The history of Parés Baltà begins in the eighteenth century when in 1790, the first vineyards were planted on the Parés Balta estate, vineyards that still surround the manor house where our winery is located. The old cava cellar was constructed stone by stone at the beginning of the twentieth century. There's no better way to explore Catalonia further afield from its capital than this perfectly planned excursion. For the end have lunch in the winery itself. After lunch leisurely drive back to Barcelona.
