Hello wanderers and other travellers! I am Andrea and I will be happy to walk you through my hometown, Madrid, and/or its whereabouts. I graduated in Art History. Besides, I also love history, literature, cinema and everything that is a bliss for the senses. I've traveled a lot and I lived several years in the United States. I think Madrid is a very special city, with a marked identity, amazing life in its streets, as well as a very wide range of cultural and gastronomic opportunities. Either if you're an art fan or would just like to explore the best museums in Madrid or the city and its history, your choice is perfect. If you like walking, finding new places, new standpoints, discovering special streets, getting lost in charming neighbourhoods, here you have the perfect companion. I love wandering about the city, observing beautiful, special, sometimes small, details. My passion is to convey the interlinkages between history, art, literature, science… I move away from a fragmented view. I often work with families too, which induces me to address simultaneously a wide range of ages, a diversity of interests. I have been working in a radio show on art insights in Madrid: a cabinet of curiosities on air. Walking beside you, I'll guide your senses to see the invisible. I can design special tours according to your needs. Tell me your interests, your passions, and I will customise the perfect tour for you! Art History Degree Master's degree in Design & Management of Exhibition Projects Theater courses, radio and tv broadcast Cultural journalism

Andrea was personable and enthusiastic about showing us the neighborhoods around the Royal Palace, the Latin District and the Plaza Mayor. At the Prado Museum, she was extremely knowledgeable and articulated well about the famous artists of history and its paintings, introducing us to Joaquin Sorolla that we knew little about. Andrea was fun to be with and flexible to our schedule. She likes what she does and it shows. Thank you!

I had a wonderful time exploring the Prado Museum with Andrea. She provided so much insight and commentary on all the masterpieces that I would not have normally received - if I were exploring on my own. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to visit Madrid (especially for first time visitors)
