My name is Sara. I am licensed guide in Madrid and the sorrounding areas. I hold a masters degree in Fine Arts and since I can remember art, languages, culture and history have been passions. I spent my college years in Madrid. Later I developed a career as an Art Educator and I had brief but fulfilling experiences in Tourism and Outreach. Ultimately, my nomadic spirit pushed me to live and work in other places. Italy, the Basque Country, and the USA were part of this fascinating journey. I returned to Madrid in 2019 after 10 years outside with a renewed appreciation and love for my place. I started guiding in 2016. Immediately I knew I was made for it. Today I feel so blessed to have been able to transform my passion for travel and knowledge into a way of living! Facilitating the discovery and enjoyment of my country to others is a real privilege. Madrid has so much to offer and is full of contrasts. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis, but some neighborhoods still preserve the atmosphere of a little quaint town. Its architecture and museums are incredible, its cultural and entertainment options seem endless and its surrounding areas are magnificent. But what makes Madrid really fascinating is its vibrant energy and its way of life. Let me help you to make the most of your stay, sharing the history, art, traditions, gastronomy, and vitality of my land with you. Let me show you how we are, and why this place is so special. I am looking forward to meeting you here and showing you around. I can offer you a private and customized experience that suits your needs, so don't hesitate to ask me about any modifications in my listed tours. I am also more than happy to work for families, offering a fun and educational experience for the young ones too! I am an Official Spanish Guide able to guide in all the National Museums and National Heritage sites. I can organize tours in all the museums, palaces, and districts of the capital. I hold an Official Guide License to guide Toledo's monuments. I can also guide in all Madrid's fascinating surrounding sites like Segovia, Escorial, Aranjuez, and many more. Although I can drive, I prefer to focus on my guide functions, but I can arrange for a car and professional driver.

El Escorial is located an hour from Madrid, in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama Mountain range. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, a masterpiece built in the 16th century during the reign of Philip II and one of Spain's most iconic monuments. This grand complex is a royal palace, monastery, basilica, and mausoleum, reflecting the power and religious devotion of the Habsburg Empire. Begin your visit to the Royal Monastery with the impressive Basilica, inspired by Italian architecture. The library, with its intricate frescoes and ancient manuscripts, is another highlight of the tour. We will visit the Pantheon of the Kings, the burial place of the Spanish monarchs. And we will have the opportunity to explore the rooms of Philip II's Palace. Enjoy an unmissable visit filled with history and art.
• Basilica of San Lorenzo: the heart of the complex, with a massive dome inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. • Royal Pantheon: houses the tombs of Spanish kings from Charles I onwards. • The library: contains over 40,000 ancient books and manuscripts. • Palace of Philip II: the residence where the most powerful king of his time died. • The Gardens: designed in a classical style with beautiful mountain views. • The Art Collection: works by great masters such as El Greco, Titian, and Velázquez.
