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. Writer of the book "Semana Santa in Sevilla" (2001)

Overview of your Seville tour

Let's celebrate art in the second Fine Arts Museum of Spain, after El Prado in Madrid. Let me explain the secrets of those special paintings by Zurbarán, El Greco, Goya, Velázquez and obiously our beloved Murillo. There, some leyends behind the masterpieces, and also curious stories to understand how they made their art. The building is a magnificent monastery of the 16th century. Walk through the patios covered by tiles made in Triana. As a historian, this is one of my favoriute places in Sevilla. If you get close enough paintings really talk, about the stories, the masters or the unique colors made with a secret recipe. It is not another boring tour of a painting musuem.
