I have been working as a tourist guide since 2007 and I still feel very passionate about it. I was born in this Spanish region, since my early childhood, I have always been very interested in Geography, History, Art, Foreign Languages, Science… I have a civil engineering background too. I try to adapt every tour to fulfill the expectations of every single customer. I love to make them feel like they are home. Every time I finish a tour there is something new that I have learned from my visitors, as I think guiding is more about exchanging experiences rather than just a monotonous speech. I am covering both the Region of Murcia and the Region of Valencia, as well as the provinces of Almería and Albacete, all of them located in the southeastern corner of the Iberian península. I keep developing new and innovative shore excursions from the ports of Cartagena, Alicante, Almería & Valencia. In this field I have been running and guiding private shore excursions for more than 10 years. It has allowed me to know exactly what my guests expect from a tour and what to do to have satisfied customers once the tour has finished. I am used to guiding different kinds of people, covering a wide range: families with children, retired people, disabled, teenagers, students, couples on their honeymoon, incentive groups, VIPs, pilgrims. . . That's why I can adapt any of my tours in order to match the profile of my visitors. And last but not least, this is how some of my guests have described me in few words: enthusiastic, professional, informative & flexible. Please let me be your guide and hopefully, you won't be disappointed!

Murcia, the regional capital, is located in the heart of the Segura Valley, an oasis in one of the driest areas in Europe. Founded by the Moors in the 9th century AD, this city will delight you since the very beginning. We will visit its gorgeous Cathedral (entrance fee not included). It was completed in 1467 although work continued on its construction up until the 18th century, which is why it is made of a variety of artistic styles. It has a bell tower 95 meters high which took over two hundred years to build and is the tallest of its kind in Spain. The Chapel of Los Vélez has a flamboyant Gothic style and a star-shaped vault. The Gentleman's Club, known in the city as "Royal Casino", has witnessed the social life of Murcia since the 19th century. Every room is inspired by a different place in Europe. You should not miss the English Library and the Rococo Ball Room. The best views of the city can be enjoyed from the Baroque "Fuensanta Sanctuary", built in a natural park.
Depart from the pier of Cartagena by coach for the one-hour journey through the foothills of the Sierra de Carrascoy. Your first stop will be at the Cathedral of Murcia, built between the 14th and 18th centuries, on the grounds of where an Arab mosque once stood. Then we will proceed to visit the gorgeous Casino (Gentleman's Club), where we can admire many different styles in just one building. Once we have finished we will make our way to the Fuensanta Sanctuary. The Monastery of the Virgin of Fuensanta (the Patron of Murcia) boasts wonderful views of the city & surrounding land. Built in the natural park known as "El Valle", the church is considered to be one of the finest examples of Murcian baroque. Here you Will have some free time to explore on your own or buy a local gift in a shop run by benedictine nuns. After that we will drive back to the port.
