I am a person who really likes talking, telling, being with people, and especially with those ones who want to know my city. Although I have been living in several cities, Toledo is the one that impresses me the most and the one that has a lot of thing to show: history, culture, traditions, legends. . . I don't want to forget Lisbon, the city where I was born, but I've been living in Toledo for a long time. Toledo really is the city I've spent most of my life in, and I'm in love with it. I have almost always been working in front of people, in public establishments, sales, hotels, wine tourism, and during the last years, explaining the city of Toledo. My studies have been focused on tourism, both Accommodation and Guiding. Because of my origin, my native language is Portuguese, and at the same level is my Spanish; but for years I've been working in English, and lately in French. And, although I have made visits to organized groups, much better is a private visit, since we can do it "a la carte", and we can adapt the visit to the needs that will come during the visit. We are not all the same; so the same visits cannot always be repeated. And every day is a different experience and visit. My training is constant, since both the City Council and the main monuments of Toledo are constantly organizing improvement courses, continuous training, with the corresponding qualifications. I really like personal contact; so with these visits we can have that direct contact, and I can transmit so many details of the history of Toledo. I wait for you! I am Superior Technician on Guiding, Information and Touristic Attendance. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

If we visit any city there are certain places that we must visit. If not, we can't say we've been there. Living in this city, I can assure you that I know all those places well: the most important ones and also some others that we will pass through during this tour. Toledo is the seat of the Catholic Church in Spain; that is why its cathedral, the most important in the country and the second largest, will be one of those monuments that we can know. And it's not just another church; It has inside a large museum and is one of the richest cathedrals in Europe. Another of its main monuments is one of the synagogues: Santa María la Blanca, which apart from being very old, shows in its construction the cultural mixture and the Muslim influence, which looks like a mosque, being a synagogue and then a church. Now museum. And to culminate the visit, the church of Santo Tomé, where I will explain the special story of why the painting here inside "The Burial of the Lord of Orgaz" is the masterpiece of El Greco.
