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!

We enjoyed every moment of our tour with Maria. She shared so much local knowledge and took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. All the food and drink stops were authentic and outstanding. Would highly recommend.

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.
