I am the third generation of tour guides in my family and I am also the founder of the first local Tour Agency in Europe which puts together local Heritage, genre fiction, multimedia & crafted entertainment to enhance your experience when visiting my hometown! I am responsible of the first tour agency ever producing media as the internationally awarded "Granny's Anniversary" short film and the feature film "The Golden Witch" that is currently in post-production. These audiovisual products promote Cordoba in a different way containing details about local food & wine or places to visit among other references. Besides this, what I do is offer tailor-made cultural visits based on the personal interest of each client. Beyond that, I also offer experiences that mix live tour guiding, media projection, fictional contents, sound & music plus life radio broadcasting to personalize your tour. In other words, on the one hand, I will help you discover the heritage of Cordoba, a city with 4 different UNESCO World Heritage accreditations, through private tours made to your liking. On the other hand I'll also provide narrations that put this heritage into value through 100% original experiences. Putting together my creativity, passion and narrative storytelling techniques I am able to give you a unique personal experience while visiting Córdoba in Spain. I am not giving you a speech. I am showing you to understand, enjoy and realise how lucky we are to be alive and how incredible we are as human beings when we work together. - Official, fully licensed Tour Guide from Junta de Andalucía - Official interpreter of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba - Official interpreter of Alhambra of Granada - HALAL Tourism certification - KOSHER Tourism certification - RASGO guide: specialist in Sephardic Jewish background - International Tourist Receptionist: able to work out religious/cultural needs you may need during your trip - Tourism Management University Degree - Escuela de Turismo de Córdoba/UNED - Master of Arts in Film and Media Producing - New York Film Academy as Fulbright Student - Advance Certificate in Creative and Cultural Industries' Creation and Consolidation Córdoba Chamber of Commerce/INCYDE Foundation - Several Certificates in Creative Writing, Filmmaking, Producing and Editing by University of Córdoba, Andalusia Film Archive, Vive7 TV I am not a driver.

A walk through the heritage of Córdoba to look over the essentials.
Overview of your Cordoba tour
This is the perfect walking tour to discover the highlights of Córdoba as a way to understand the city of the three cultures, and due to this its one of the most demanded as well, since we approach the three religions that made us what we are today. We will be visiting the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba to understand the Islamic and Christian heritage plus also we will walk the Jewish quarter where our last Sephardic neighbours have been living. We will cover some of the most visited environments, which the majority of our visitors look forward to seeing. I am a licensed expert for the three religious backgrounds and I will make sure not to skip anything important as we go. At the same time, this tour will open your mind and heart to understand and dream about the possibility of finding a way for different faiths to work together for a much better world. Heritage speaks up, so give yourself the chance to be spoken to and perhaps even go over your personal mindset!
Your Cordoba tour itinerary
·First, we will get inside the impressive Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (there is no building like this at all anywhere on Earth). ·After that we will go around the nearby Jewish quarter, the last space within the limits of the town where our Sephardic neighbours have been living until 1492, where we'll find the medieval synagogue of Córdoba, which is the oldest one in Spain. ·Across this neighbourhood, we'll find the statute of the RAMBAM, Moshe Ben Maimon, known as Maimonides, the most important Jewish scholar of all times. ·Soon after that, we'll get to the first artisanal market of Spain opened in the 1960s with its traditional patio of Córdoba. ·We will be traversing some of the most popular narrow streets that bring the remarkable labyrinth atmosphere of Córdoba, to finally discover the main access to the Faculty of Philosophy, which was the most remarkable hospital of the town for over 150 years. Nearby, the statue of the famous ophthalmologist Mohamed Al Gafequi is waiting for us! (Customizable).
