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

Overview of your Barcelona tour

My grandfather always used to say; "A country's cuisine is its landscape in a pot" It is a non-pretentious experience in which you will try true Spanish gastronomy and culture. Touristy areas tend to exploit stereotypes, leaving you with a wrong idea of tapas and wine, instead, I want to show you my neighborhood to tailor a tour while assuring and respecting the coexistence between locals and visitors. With this experience, you have the opportunity to discover Barcelona's emblematic gastronomic legacy and try out some of our traditional products, but this is not just about the food it's about our lifestyle, about Gracia there and now, stories and history about the neighborhood, who lived before and now, what makes this place so unique. You'll enjoy the local life and pass through several of the most emblematic shops in the area, discovering how to go to the market and you can choose what you want to eat and they will cook for you
