About me

Hello! Welcome to the city of Turia! I am Maria, I have been living in Valencia for almost 40 years, so I consider myself a local. I have been a tour guide for more than 7 years.

Showing Valencia to people visiting this amazing city is simply wonderful. I really enjoy sharing a bit of my charming city full of history, fascinating architecture and exciting bars where you can enjoy delicious tapas.

I have a degree in History and Art History so I am passionate about architecture, sculpture and painting of all periods, features that Valencia offers everywhere.

Would you like me to share this with you?

my hobbies

In my spare time I love travelling and connect the history of some countries with others, so the pieces of the puzzle come together to form a whole.

I also love to dedicate myself to my organic garden where I have been planting and harvesting for 14 years, for me it is essential to be in contact with the earth and enjoy the outdoors.

I also really enjoy continuing to learn about art history and general history. And last but not least, I love hiking in the countryside!

A wonderful experience with Maria

14 May 2025

We were a group of 20 people and everyone was very complementary about the wonderful walking tour we had with Maria, she was super well informed and shared her knowledge in a very pleasant manner. She keep it interesting and factual. She also made it fun and, although I’ve been to Valencia before, Maria showed us many new things and details we would have missed. I can highly recommend her for a wonderful experience.

Great context for art we see

23 February 2025

Maria is a knowleadgeable and friendly guide. We learned a lot about the artists and specific images we had been walking by all week. There is so much graffiti and paintings in Valencia. Choosing what to view and discuss is a challenge. We became more observant after the tour. Thanks Maria, you did a great job!

Highly recommend a tour of Valencia with Maria! Very knowledgeable about all things Valencia both location and historical. A wealth of information in 1.5 hours. It gave us a great overall feel for the city and we were able to navigate very well around after it. Her English is excellent so no issues with comprehension at all. Highly recommend!
