I was born in San Sebastián, though the most of my life has passed in Toledo. My first academic study concerning the profession of Tourist Guide was Specialist on Enterprises and Tourist Activities at the Official Tourist School from Madrid. Since then, 1991, I have been practising the profession of Tourist Guide in Toledo, both in Spanish and English, French or Portuguese. And for all this time I've actively belong to the Castilla-La Mancha Tourist Guide Association. With the idea of improving my knowledge for my job, I was arranging some years later my profession with the studies of Degree on Humanities at the School of Toledo, where after graduating I finished the courses of Doctorate and so I get the Advanced Studies Diploma. For all these years I've got the pleasure of introducing Toledo to visitors of all kind: students, adults, diverse kinds of associations, handicapped, congresses, institucional tours, etc. All the city guides of Toledo are constantly improving our backgrounds and renovating our knowledge of the city atending to lectures and especific courses for Tourist Guides. Since I started my professional activity I am an active member of the Castilla-La Mancha Tourist Guides Regional Association, where I have hold diverse responsibilities. This Association, and then all his fellows, are integrated in CEFAPIT (Spanish Confederation of Tourist Guides Federation and Association), FEG (European Guides Federation) and in the World Federation of Tourist Guides Associations. I think I am a very lucky person because I feel like an embasador of this city. Living here gives me the chance of knowing many places, details and those hidden treasures that are not easy to find. Degree in Tourism by the Universidad Complutense of Madrid Graduate in Humanities by the University of Castilla-La Mancha Guide of Toledo Nr: CLM-298-P I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Toledo tour

This vist is a "must" because my city is very important to understand the history of my country. This was a city occupied by Romans, Muslims, Jews and it used to be the capital before Madrid. We will do in the morning a visit of 3:00 hours, a break for lunch of 1 h, and we will continue 2:00 hours after lunch. Our city was known as "Capital of three religions" and it is a World Heritage Site. For twenty years I've been explaining the most important Catedral of Spain, one of the oldest synagogues in Europe, the monastery of Saint John and an old Mosque. We will get a taxi to go around the old city. Toledo can't be understood if we don't see it from outside. I will show you the best view of any historical site and I am sure that it will surprise you and those will be some of your best photos. And if we have more time, we will visit as well another place where visitors are not allowed to enter, but coming with me you will discover it and it will surprise you.

Walking tour. If you're arriving by train, you can walk from the station to Plaza de Zocodover via the Alcántara Bridge (about 20 minutes), or take a taxi (about 5 minutes). Alternatively, I can meet you at the station and we can take a taxi for a panoramic drive around the historic city, including the views from the other side of the river (it's around €25).
