I am an Art Historian, teacher and Official Tourist Guide. I consider myself a lover of history and art in all its forms. I really like reading, researching, teaching and getting to know new places. In addition to traveling to other countries, I love getting to know the small towns and local traditions of our country. I live in Almería, in the south of the south, the city where the sun spends the winter. Do you want me to show you my city (or some corner of the province) in a rigorous, enjoyable and fun way? See you on my Free Tour!

Tour description

HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF ALMERÍA. On this visit, you will learn about the city of Almería from the hand of an Art Historian and Official Tourist Guide.
As if on a journey through history, you will gradually discover the different stages of this city: Muslim Almería, whose greatest vestige is the imposing Alcazaba; Christian Almería, with the impressive cathedral-fortress; contemporary Almería, with the Station and the Cable Inglés and modern-day Almería.
Throughout the tour we will talk about literature, art, gastronomy, traditions and many other things that make this beautiful city unique. It is a very dynamic and educational tour that will serve as a letter of introduction to Almería so that you can later investigate what attracts your attention the most.
