As a historian I like to show the monuments of the city but I especially enjoy talking about our local culture. This is Sevilla, so we can talk about soccer, tapas, processions, flamenco, and of course, our wines! I like to visit places that normally are not included in the traditional visitor's circuit. Let me take you to the charming market of Feria Street, a cloister convent where to eat a sweet. The views from the other side of the river are beautiful, specially if you go during the "blue hour". I love to travel all the time. I have been in UK, France, Italy, Egypt, Frech Polynesia, India, Madison Wisconsin, New York City, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Portugal, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Cerdeña, Córcega, Sicily, Ireland, Canada, . . . I got married in 2006 and have two beautiful princesses, Elsa (2012) and Emma (2017). History and music are an important part of my life. I am lucky to live in Sevilla but really lucky because my job it is to show you not only the monuments , the gastronomy but specially the soul of Sevilla. Forget about the time, we need no maps, just enjoy as we are in Sevilla! History degree (1993-1998) Official licensed guide since 2001. Manager of a tourist company since 1999.

After a long day walking and discovering the city, relax at your apartment, and after a shower, you’ll be ready to enjoy tapas in a local way for dinner. Our first stop will be in a bar where to try the specials, "salmorejo" and "pringa". Then we’ll wander through the streets and alleys whilst talking about the most popular legends of Seville. It’s getting dark, we’re surrounded by trees and beautiful benches where to enjoy stories about Don Juan, Cervantes, Columbus, the king Peter "The Cruel", Susona the jewish girl, etc… Next, it’s time for another tapas bar, where we will enjoy some local wine and my favorite dish—fried eggplants. Still hungry? No problem! But before we continue, let me take you to a charming, slightly dark, yet special and peaceful plaza that most travelers overlook. Sorry, I won’t reveal its name—it’s a bit of a secret! After that, why not end the experience with a coffee or a final drink on a terrace with what might be the best views of the city center? Don’t forget your camera!
We combined this Tapas tour with Jose's historic tour of Sevilla, and are so happy we did. Jose taught us so much about the history of this city, and really tailored the tour to our interests. We visited a hidden tapas bar, one the locals love, and it was great, especially the "spring wine." Jose chose a few dishes to sample, and each was unique and delicious. We recommend Jose highly!
José is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture and food of Barcelona. He provided a superb tour, and when we asked him about any small detail we noticed, he was always ready to go deeper. We also hired him to give us a highlights tour the same morning. We enjoyed every minute of our time with him. I highly recommend hiring José to guide you through this marvelous city!
A very nice evening spent trying new foods and learning about parts of the city.
The idea is to combine myths, the culture and tapas of Seville. - I’ll pick you up from your location and take you on a leisurely walk through the old city, tracing the footsteps of Seville’s iconic and legendary figures. - Along the way, we’ll stop at three different bars to continue our conversation while discovering the local cuisine. - We’ll end the tour either at your place or in the heart of the city, where you can try our favorite ice cream spot; Rayas. Please, contact me for a customized tour!
