I began working as a guide in 2012 after finishing my tourism studies. When I was in school I started to learn English and then I continued practicing to improve it. I also speak Italian which I learned in northern Italy (Padova) where I made an Erasmus scholarship and there I discover the flavor of the original Spritz. During my years of experience, I have had the opportunity (and luck) to meet people from all over the world, and learn a lot about different cultures and habits. I love the history of my country and my city and being able to transmit it to visitors. I also enjoy sharing some historical gossip to make it more fun. During the high season I can walk a lot (between 3 and 10 miles per day) - to stay in shape I play indoor soccer with my friends once or twice a week. Talking about soccer by the way, in Seville, there are two soccer teams (Sevilla FC and Real Betis Balompie) both playing in Laliga. I support Real Betis :). In Spain soccer (football to us) is the most popular sport, and basketball is the second. Food and wine is another of my passions (I presume you like food too). Spain in general, but Andalusia and Seville, in particular, are ideal to enjoy the famous tapas (small portions of food, perfect if you like to taste a lot of new flavors). There are 3, 500 bars and restaurants in Seville so I am sure there is at least one that suits you. Currently, I enjoy my job like day one. For me, it is a privilege to show this city, its secrets, and world heritage places to visitors from all over the world. I hope to see you in Seville and make your experience unforgettable. - Andalusia guide license Num: 1.182 in English, French, and Italian. - 11 years of enjoying showing my city and its monuments to visitors from all over the world. I can drive, but when I am working I prefer to focus on guiding and hiring a car with a professional driver. This make it a better experience for you.

When I was a child, I remember the Duchess of Alba as an important person in the city, but her Palace, "La casa de Dueñas" was never open to the public. Only seven years ago his son received it as an inheritance and decided to open its doors to the public. Let's discover together this palace where some famous people such as Jackie Kennedy or Grace Kelly stayed in the last century. We will also visit another palace related to one of the most important families of the 16th century in Castilla, the "Enríquez de Ribera". The Pilate's Palace is also related to the origin of the Holy Week processions as we know them in the city today. Of course, on our tour, there will be time to see and learn about the history of other places in the city center where we pass, such as the mushrooms, the city hall, and the main monuments from the outside (Alcázar, Cathedral and Archivo de Indias).
We can start the tour from different places, adapting it to our meeting point (which will possibly be at your hotel), as a summary we will see the following places: - We will visit the Dueñas Palace, we will learn about its history and we'll see the palace in the same state as when the Duchess lived here, with the same decoration and furniture. - We will also visit the "House of Pilatos", the first example of the Renaissance style in Seville, which is also known because some Hollywood movies have been filmed in this palace, such as Lawrence of Arabia, Knight and Day, or The Kingdom of Heaven. We will pass on our tour and I will explain to you the history of : - "Las Setas", - The City Hall, - The Royal Palace, - The Cathedral, and the Archive of the Indies. * Itinerary can be customized upon request.
