History, heritage, and interesting facts about Almeria
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!

I'll be at Puerta Purchena, right in front of the Ale-Hop store, with my guide badge.
