My first breath was taken in Chamberí, one of the most typical and charming districts of Madrid. Since then, my heart has been beating with the rhythm of my city. Since 2009, I have built a profession in the cultural and tourism sector through the creation and development of activities in Museums and street tours for public and private institutions. As a tour guide, make people know and experience Madrid is the best way to correspond to the life it gives to me. PhD in Art History (UAM, 2018), I am also an Associate Professor in two Private Universities in Madrid. Passionate about communication, thanks also to my past work as a Museum educator with children of all ages, I am provided with a wonderful learning experience that allows me to enjoy every second I spent transmitting my knowledge, awakening curiosity and fostering dialogues with people from all walks of life. But, it's not all about the city and work. With all my respect to Madrid, as a lover of nature, hiking and cycling, I dream of a house in the countryside. Also passionate about food and music, I have an double affair with my kitchen and my piano and I sing and dance when nobody is looking at me. So take for granted that, amongst my suggestions, I will recommend you some of the best and different places that this city offers for Spanish food and music lovers. I look forward to many years continuing to do what I love passionately and to receive you in Madrid! Certified Guide - license number 4894. I have no restrictions

Overview of your Madrid tour

With a fully licensed tour guide, Museum Educator and PhD in Art History and Associate Professor at the University, this is a tour for people that want to be initiated or to get an insight on a unique collection dating back 200 years. This "Museum of Painters" is must-see in Madrid (must-see twice if it is not your first time in the city). For 3 hours (recommended), I will introduce the history of the building, the institution, the collection, and we will aim at understanding the largest holdings of the European and Spanish Art since the 15th to the 19th century. *If you have a specific itinerary in mind send me a message and I'll customize the tour for you.

Ana was fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable about every exhibit in the museum and brought each one to life with fascinating insights and stories. We’re not typically a museum-focused family, but she made the entire experience engaging, enjoyable, and absolutely worthwhile. We learned so much and truly appreciated her enthusiasm and expertise. Highly recommend Ana to anyone visiting the museum.

Our tour of the Prado with Ana was nothing short of wonderful. It was full of Spanish history and how and where various paintings fit into that history. It covered hidden meanings and not so hidden meanings. It covered brush strokes and techniques. And Ana was ever so pleasant throughout.

Ana was truly knowledgeable and personable. She identified themes in the artworks that carried through from the Prado to the Reina Sofia, and was an excellent communicator. She skillfully moved us through the museums to relevant and illustrative selections of Spanish artists, giving us increased appreciation of the masterpieces and the times that the artists lived in. Thank you, Ana!
