I don't show you the city,
I explain how to feel and understand it.

More Than a Guide. A Lifetime of Welcoming People.

To understand Seville, dates and architectural styles are not enough. You have to understand why this city moves to its own rhythm—why its taverns, quiet courtyards and conversations have a pulse you won't find anywhere else in Spain.

I was born and raised in Triana. Long before I began hosting private tours, my life was already about one thing: making people feel at home.

At twenty-five, I opened my first restaurant, El Paso Tapas, in the heart of my neighborhood, and later El Duende Lounge Bar—places where locals, travelers, music and good talk found each other without effort. Looking back, I wasn't just running businesses: I was creating places where people felt comfortable, connected, and part of something.

That instinct led me to create We Love Spain Excursions in 2006. Over nearly two decades, I personally led hundreds of journeys across Spain, Portugal and Morocco. I crossed the Sahara more times than I can count, wandered through the indigo lanes of Chefchaouen, and watched sunsets over the rooftops of Marrakech. Those years taught me what guidebooks always miss: the memories that stay with people are never the rehearsed speeches, but the unscripted conversations and the shared moments over a glass of wine.

A Storyteller at Heart

I'm also an author.

Writing satire, fiction and Sevillian history has trained me to look beneath the surface. I'm the author of four published books—including the Zevilla Zombi Nation trilogy—with two more on the way, driven by the same curiosity that powers my tours. Dates fade quickly from memory; a well-told story stays forever.

Why I Created Seville With a Local

That is why I created Seville With a Local. Not to deliver lectures, but to share my hometown through the eyes of someone who has lived every corner of it.

There is no rigid script. If a quiet alley catches your eye, we turn into it. If a neighbourhood tavern is buzzing with life and the moment feels right, we pull up a chair. That's how I live my city.

For a few hours, you are not following a tour. You are walking Seville with a local friend.
