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

This is a tour for people that want to be initiated or to get an insight on a collection that will allow them to understand contemporary art as never before. With a PhD that was supervised by the former director of the cultural activities of Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, I will bring you to the rooms that witnessed my evolution as an Art historian. For 3 hours (recommended), I will introduce the history of the building, the institution, the collection, and I will be committed to explore with you not only some of the highlights of the European and Spanish Contemporary Art since the 19th Century to the Second World War, but the most thought-provoking masterpieces, sharing with you the ideas and issues of our past and present related to them. Divided into three parts, we propose an approach to the "Collection 1: The Irruption of the 20th Century: Utopias and Conflicts". *If you have a specific itinerary in mind send me a message and I'll customize the tour for you.
Ana was great. She is very knowledgeable about the museum and the art generally. She was able to guide through a somewhat crowded museum, identifying important works. She included paintings that might have been somewhat lesser known, but demonstrated the artist's skill and significance of the work. All in all it was a great tour.
We had a marvellous tour of the Reina Sofia Museum with Ana , a complete revelation, such depth of knowledge and passion, Ana brought the artists and their work alive. Absolutely fascinating, I could not commend Ana highly enough.
Highly recommend Ana!
Ana has a wealth of knowledge which she shares during this fascinating Reina Sofia tour. She very understandably explains the origins of the different forms of modern art and how they relate to each other using the extraordinary pieces in the museum's collection. Even the history of the building itself is very interesting. Don't hesitate to book this tour with Ana!
Ana gave a wonderful and incredibly insightful tour of the Reina Sofia Museum. Her depth of knowledge on a subject she clearly cares very deeply about was inspiring. We had a small group and Ana was able to adapt the tour and flow with whichever topic we were discussing - she was a wonderful guide and I would highly recommend her.
