From journalist to tour guide
In love with Gran Canaria, I left my career as a journalist behind to devote myself to showing visitors the treasures of this island. Discover more about me, my approach to tourism, and my private, personalised tours.
A Journalist turned into a Tourist Guide
I love learning history and telling stories. That is why I took and completed Journalism studies at Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona in 2001. I also had the happy chance to spend one year at University of Florence, Italy, and at University of Monterrey, Mexico. These experiences ignited my passion for travel, other cultures and other flavours.
From that moment, I visited many countries and I finally found one small island that I immediately fell in love with — Gran Canaria. A small piece of land with a wide range of microclimates, unique autochthonous flora, breathtaking landscapes, an impressive history and heritage, high-end local products and open-minded, friendly people.
While I was working as a journalist in Gran Canaria, I became imbued with its history, culture and food products and it was then I decided to apply for the Official Tourist Guide certificate, awarded by the Government of the Canary Islands. Besides, I am a partner and a certified guide of the recently estasblished Wine-Tasting and Winery Tour of Gran Canaria (Ruta del Vino de Gran Canaria). I have also been awarded the statutory Tourism Intermediation Licence, so I am authorised to arrange and offer my own tours and excursions. My tours are conducted in French, English, Italian, Spanish and Catalan.
Gran Canaria is full with treasures. Contact me and I will help you experience and discover the best that this island has to offer!!!
Private tours
Slow tourism
Personalised experiences
A different concept
Personal Tour is a service built around a different approach to tourism: a personal, tailor-made experience focused on discovery and engaging all five senses, at your own pace and without the time constraints of group excursions.
Personalised tours not only allow you to create an itinerary tailored to your interests and preferences, but also give you the opportunity to discover beautiful, lesser-known places that are inaccessible to coaches and mass tourism excursions.
Personal Tour also embraces the philosophy of slow tourism: a more relaxed, sustainable and environmentally friendly way to travel. A way to enjoy your free time in harmony with nature, history and local traditions, allowing you to savour, feel, learn and experience the island as a traveller rather than simply a tourist.
The tours have been designed to introduce you to an authentic yet lesser-known side of Gran Canaria: its history as a crossroads between Europe, Africa and the Americas; its excellent, award-winning wines, which remain relatively unknown in international markets; and personalised routes that allow you to discover the full intensity of the flavours of an island with far more to offer than what you will find in conventional travel guides.
