I have always been passionate about history, geography, travel, and different cultures—a love I inherited from my family. My father, a pilot and history enthusiast, would quiz me on world flags and maps, while my mother, who adores languages and books, played English music and films without subtitles to help me learn. Growing up, my sisters and I traveled frequently, which shaped our careers—while I became a political scientist and historical heritage interpreter, one sister became an architect, and the other an artist and designer. After moving between countries seven times, my family finally settled in Seville, a city I fell in love with when I was eight years old. I was mesmerized by its rich history and stunning architecture. Years later, I decided to specialize in Historical Heritage Interpretation at university so I could share my passion for this incredible city with others. In 2017, I started working in tourism as a cultural manager, designing tours. Many visitors would ask if I was a guide, so I decided to take the Tour Guide Public Exam. Now, as a certified tour guide, I bring history to life by blending real facts with fascinating legends, always adding my own personality to make the experience fun and engaging. My tours are never robotic or scripted; they are dynamic, entertaining, and full of passion for Seville’s heritage. I can also customize the tours to fit each traveler’s interests—your wish is my command! 🎓 I'm certified as Official Tour Guide via public examinations (I have three licenses: Guide ID Nº 2114, GA-5424 and GHP00256). 🏛 University Specialization Diploma in Historic Heritage Interpretation, with a Degree in Political Science and European Studies. I have a Masters Degree in International Relations; and another Masters Degree in Historic Heritage, Art and Museums (my thesis was about Jewish Heritage in Seville). ✡ Diploma in Jewish History of Spain, by the Jewish Quarters Network Association in Spain. 📜 I'm the first person to be professionally certified as Historical Heritage Interpreter in Andalucía via new public certifications. 📜 Diploma in Cultural Management. 📜 Diploma in Chinese for Tourism by the Government of Aragon (plus official certificate HSK3 -former B1- level of Mandarin Chinese) 🏛 Founder of a small Tour Agency: ALTAI Turismo Sevilla. 🗺 I'm listed in the Tourism Registration catalog of Andalusia. 🛡 I have a public liability insurance. I am not a driver. I do not organize excursions/transfers.

We are going to reveal the history of the Jewish community of Seville, since its origins until their eventual expulsion from the city. Let's stroll through centuries of Jewish heritage in the historical city center of Seville. For this, I have personally designed a special itinerary in the Santa Cruz quarter, so you can understand the history, legends and importance of this group of people, who left their imprint in the streets and traditions of Seville; like the gastronomy, our last names, and even some typical sayings. I am going to show you the real places where these stories happened, and where real Jewish people lived and died. From monuments, to former synagogues, to houses and even the former cemetery of this historical neighborhood. Don't miss out the chance to learn about this vital part of Sevillian heritage. And don't forget I made my Master's Thesis about the Jewish Quarter of Seville, so the info I will share with you, is exclusive info I will provide from my research!
Meeting point: Plaza Virgen de Los Reyes First stop: 1) Fabiola street: a piece of history, the wall that was the border of the Jewish quarter. 2) Levíes street: The house of Samuel Leví. 3) San Bartolomé church: one of the former synagogues of the city. 4) Santa Maria la Blanca church: another important synagogue in the limits of the old town. 5) Cano y Cueto street: the ancient Jewish cemetery. 6) Murillo Gardens: Let's talk about some info from the Archive of Seville. Last stop: Santa Cruz square: the destruction of the main synagogue. All my tours can be customized upon request
