I'm a licensed tourist guide of Galicia since 2010 and I have been working as a guide since 2014. I was born in a fishing town near Finisterre, the Spanish land's end and I live now in Santiago de Compostela, where I work as a local guide and tour leader. I have lived in Cork, Ireland, a country I love, and I also spent some time working in the French Britanny and Cuba. I have a broad range of interests. I have a deep passion for nature, animals and environmental causes, which explains my love for hiking. I have lead some walking trips along the Way of Saint James (Camino de Santiago) many times. I'm interested in ethnography, music, history, art, ecology, gender and I'm also quite curious about languages, specially minority ones. I think being a guide is a very rewarding proffesion. I have always being an adventurous soul and this job gives me the opportunity to work outdoors and not just travelling but experiencing the trip more in depth, inmersing myself in the local culture. Every trip I lead is a master for me and really rewarding. In all this time, I have seen how this corner of the Spanish northwest has become less unknown in the world thanks to the Camino de Santiago, which has always been a link between cultures. Galicia maintains many of its ancestral traditions, which combined with its historical and artistic heritage, its gastronomy, its almost 1. 500 km of rugged and peaceful coasts and the open character of its inhabitants make it a top-level tourist destination. One of the most unknown Celtic nations, Galicia offers travelers everything they can wish for. Do you want to discover it? Licensed tourist guide of Galicia None
