Castilla y León is one of the oldest regions in Spain. The region has 11 World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. It stands out for being one of the Spanish regions with the greatest cultural, heritage, ethnographic and natural wealth and where the first traces are found of the Spanish language. Let me show you its secrets! I am a very well-organized person, with a high-quality standard for my tours, and a great customized attention service. I do not offer just guided tours, but unique experiences. With my rich knowledge of history, art, fun facts, legends, literature… I can show you the town from different perspectives: Gastronomy, Architecture, Museums, Traditions, Crafts, University lifestyle, Culture, Photography, and History are some of the highlights of my tours. And with my expertise in Castilla y León, I will show you not only the famous spots but also local jewels off-the-beaten-track places. I have lived in several countries, such as Italy, France, Ireland, England… These experiences have allowed me to have a multicultural view.
