Welcome to all, I am native from Madrid, born in Manresa, family from Asturias, northern Spain and raised in Madrid, since early age I was interested in the arts and history of my city and my country. As time went by I started specializing in the culture of my beloved Madrid where I have been guiding for almost 10 years now! I have special interest in nineteenth century history and Spanish art and I am a great fan of Francisco de Goya, one of the masters one can find in Madrid. As a professional and as the local who grew up in Madrid, I can vouch that neither as an art center no as a social hot spot Madrid would ever let you down. Here you will encounter genuine people and a life of smiles that goes well with tapas and wine. I welcome you all to join me on a walk of the city where we could get the feeling of those people, of the city, the arts and history. As a guide I really care to accommodate to the needs of visitors, I enjoy making your experience entertaining never leaving professionalism aside. My priority is to ensure that people get the most out of their tour and that they get to understand Madrid and end up loving it. What is Madrid for me? It is a way of life, is its streets, is happiness, Madrid is myself! What can you take home from Madrid? You will take from Madrid great memories, amazing flavors, you will get and unforgettable experience and in the end Madrid will take your heart! -Bachelor Degree in Art History from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid -Started doctorate courses in U.A.M of which I finalize two years, main subject is Death Penalty in the figurative art of the Ninnetenth Century in Spain. Doctorate is as for now on hold, to be continued.... -More than 16 years experience as a guide -Official Licenced Guide of Madrid and Aragón -Official Guide of National Heritage -Licensed on Toledo's Cathedral and Toledo Monumental sights
