Welcome to Seville: the Port of the Indies, door to America and city of the Opera! My name is Enrique and I invite you to live together a unique experience where you will find mixed history and art with important doses of humour, legends and traditions. Let me show you the mystery and magic of this city through my stories and anecdotes! After getting a diploma in tourism from the University of Seville (1992), I started my career as a tour guide in 1993, when I obtained my official license. I combined this profession with other jobs in the industry, including travel agencies and hotels, always looking for new challenges. Due to personal events, I joined my family business in 2000, working in the industrial market, something different from what I have done in the past. The good side was that I got to travel a lot, attending trade shows and strengthening business partnerships with several factories abroad. Because of this, I lived for six months in Turkey, three months in Morocco and one month in Romania. I frequently visited countries like Germany, Italy and France as well. This period of my life contributed to my personal growth, giving me the tools to better understand diverse cultures, and to widen my horizons, seeing history and culture from different points of view. Back in Seville, I decided to come back to my beloved profession of tourist guide, being fully dedicated to it for the last nine years. So if you want to get a local perspective of the city, come with me and don't waste your valuable time in long queues to visit our monuments. Skip the lines with me and be ready for something different, because I don't guide tours, I make history come alive! -Diploma in Tourism 1992. -Official tourist guide license in Andalusia 1993. Nº1790 -I regularly give tours to guests of luxury hotels in Seville. -In Cádiz, Huelva and Seville ports I work with luxury cruises. -President of AUITS, official guides major association of Seville. No restrictions. I am an offical licensed guide in Seville and Andalusia. I am allowed to give tours inside historical monuments.

Overview of your Seville tour

I will take you to the places where Cristopher Columbus lived his first years in Spain. Have you heard about the Monastery of La Rabida? It was the place where the enigmatic navigator asked for a roof when he came from Portugal, where his project was rejected. We will know the rooms where he revealed to the monks his plans and where met the local shipowners to organise that pioneer adventure. Then we will visit the Port of Palos, the starting point of the first voyage to America. There we will enjoy the three carabel replicas: Santa Maria, Pinta and Niña and we will be immersed in the recreation of the medieval port and the New World found by Columbus. Let me take you to the Monastery of "Our Lady of the Caves", the place where Columbus lived waiting for the definitive support of the Spanish Catholic Monarchs and later the mausoleum of his family. Join me on this unique journey where I will show you some hidden secrets related to his life and death.
