I’m a licensed hiking guide specialized in the Camino de Santiago. Although I was born in Barcelona, I’ve had a deep connection with Santiago and the Camino for many years—long before making this stunning city my home. After several years working in computer programming, I decided to follow my true passions: travelling, being immersed in nature, and connecting with people from all around the world. This journey led me to guide both cultural and hiking tours across Spain, Portugal, and Italy, with a particular focus on the Camino de Santiago, a path that has profoundly shaped both my personal and professional life. Galicia, the region where Santiago is located, is truly remarkable. It is a land of lush landscapes, deep green forests, and rugged coastlines, with nature that feels untamed and pure. The region is rich in historical and cultural heritage, where ancient traditions, Celtic roots, and medieval architecture are deeply embedded in everyday life. It’s a place where nature and history come together to create an unforgettable atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for anyone looking to connect with the land and its stories. My bond with Santiago grew stronger with each arrival as a pilgrim, and eventually, it became clear that this city was where I truly belonged. I’ve now made Santiago de Compostela my home, and I’m passionate about sharing my perspective and love for this incredible region with travellers from all over the world. I don’t offer a typical city tour; I offer an authentic experience—one that combines personal storytelling, deep insight into the culture and nature of Galicia, and the spirit of the Camino. If you want to discover Santiago de Compostela and Galicia through the eyes of someone who has walked these paths many times and now calls this land home, I’d be honoured to guide you.

Praza do Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
My suggested meeting point would be at Plaza do Obradoiro, right in front of the the entrance to the Parador Hostal dos Reies Católicos Hotel, but I can be flexible with the meeting point to make things easier for you. If the meeting point is not convenient for you, I could pick you up directly from your Hotel - wheter you are in Santiago or nearby towns like A Coruña. Just let me know your preferences when booking, and I'll arrange everything for a smooth start.
