New Orleans Tour: History, Must-See Places, and Interesting Facts
I'm originally from Spain and have been living in New Orleans for a year. When I arrived in this city, the connection was immediate. I love losing myself in it and delving into its history, culture, and cuisine. When someone visits New Orleans, I'm happy to show them the best (including unusual and hidden spots) so they take a little piece of this wonderful city with them and want to return again.
