¡Hola! and welcome to Castilla y León! I am captivated by my town, Salamanca, and looking forward to making you fall in love with this magical town too! 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. I have also worked as a Travel Director for different travel agencies and tour operators, national and international, especially from North America. Currently, I run my own business as a licensed Tour Guide, providing private tours in Salamanca and my region (Castilla y León). Focusing my attention on each person, I offer unique and specialized guided tours, trying to show you around as a friend who takes you for a walk in her favorite places.
