Flamenco and Fiesta Facilitator

Exploring Spain has been a passion of mine since I first harbored dreams of visiting Barcelona, inspired by the city’s Olympic history dating back to 1992. I finally fulfilled that dream in 2011, embarking on a journey that started in Madrid and wound its way through the spirited streets of Pamplona, before revealing the treasures of Barcelona. Each destination offered me a taste of Spain's diverse allure, from the vibrant energy of La Rambla to the ancient magic of Toledo, where I watched a master bladesmith craft a sword in a medieval setting—a memory etched in time.

As a travel advisor with AMT Travel, I channel my first-hand experiences into crafting unforgettable itineraries that immerse clients in the rich tapestry of Spanish culture and history. My travels across Spain’s iconic cities have endowed me with unique insights that I eagerly share. I aim to introduce travelers not only to well-known attractions but also to hidden gems that elude the typical tourist path, ensuring a journey as unique as it is memorable.

The depth and breadth of my experience in Spain have equipped me with a wealth of stories and practical advice. I relish in the opportunity to make each Spanish adventure special, drawing from the vivid memories and lessons of my own travels to guide others.

The heart of what my clients love most about Spain is no mystery—it’s the intoxicating blend of food and culture that captivates all who visit. From vibrant tapas bars in the heart of Barcelona to the serene beauty of historic towns and the unmatched excitement of cultural festivals, Spain is a feast for the senses. These authentic encounters leave a lasting impression, and I'm here to ensure each client leaves with stories that they'll cherish forever.

Working alongside the dedicated team at AMT Travel, I bring over a decade of travel industry experience to my clients, creating bespoke itineraries tailored to meet individual dreams. Together, we turn wanderlust into carefully curated adventures, showing clients that every travel dream can become a vivid reality.
