I am an Official Tour Guide. I live in Santiago de Compostela; where I have my family and my work that gives me great satisfaction. Through my profession I can meet many nice people from different parts of the world to whom I teach with great pleasure about my region, talking about its history, heritage, the culture that surrounds Galicia, always trying to make the visitors feel happy! My passion has always been tourism that led me to work in an airline company in the customer service department. As a teacher, I taught lessons on tourism business, routes and local heritage in Galicia. I love traveling, and every year I do my best to know new places, choosing destinations that allow me to increase my experiences and knowledge! All this culture and natural attractions confirm for me why people choose to come to visit Galicia. They are interested in discovering the architecture, in local food and wine, walking part of the Camino, etc. Let me guide you to enjoy a nice experience! Official Tour Guide Licensed granted by Galician's Government. Degree in Tourism at John Kennedy University (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - UDC Coruña University (Coruña, Spain). No Restrictions.

Experience the pilgrimage route and taste this spiritual trek of "el Camino" to Santiago
Overview of your Santiago De Compostela tour
Our visit begins at one of the highest points around Santiago de Compostela, exactly on the Monte del Gozo, the place where pilgrims arrive on the French, Northern and primitive road. From here, we walk about 5 kilometers to reach our goal which is the Plaza de Obradoiro, where all the different roads that lead us to Santiago de Compostela end. Since the medieval era, thousands of pilgrims have traveled this road to carry the goal of Salvation for them at that time and thus visit the Cathedral of Santiago that houses the remains of the Apostle. This experience allows us to know that path that today is not only traveled for religious reasons but also for spiritual reasons or for tourism. Once we reach the final point, you will have a chance to taste the typical tapas and wine in two restaurants! I encourage you to walk part of the Camino!

Great walk of the tail end of the Camino, and of the city
Sharon Y.United States
Maria was gracious and hospitable. She provided interesting and important information about our walk into the city on the Camino, and about the Cathedral - history, architecture and traditions.
Jim T.United States
Maria was an excellent guide. We initially planned to walk about 5 km on the Camino, but couldn't because of illness. Maris modified the tour to accommodate us and we saw everything we wanted. In addition, she was able to get us closer to some things in the cathedral than many other people. Overall, we were very happy. I strongly recommend her.
Mateo Levine L.United States
