Hi, I'm Maria Belen. Your hostess in Madrid. I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Psychopedagogy in my country, Argentina. After many years working in my profession, my curious and adventurous soul led me to discover a great passion that I did not know: tourism. My years as a tour guide have taken me down different and exciting paths. First discovering Danish lands and then returning to my first great love, Madrid. I can promise you that from my hand you will feel the warmth of this land that I admire so much. Its exquisite gastronomy and the passion embodied in each neighborhood will make you fall in love and want to return again and again. I wait for you to enjoy, know and understand the history of one of the oldest and most exciting capitals in Europe.
