About Tour Guide Marta C.
Hi there! I'm Marta, a licensed tour guide with an Art degree and working as a freelance tour guide for about 7 years now.
After travelling to different countries for a while, I decided to come back and to help other travellers to get to know the real Andalucia so their time here turns into an unforgettable experience.
Baeza and Úbeda, the cities where I live and work at, are two hidden gems away from the tourist crowds . Their historical and architectural relevance got them the recognition as World Heritage Cities by the Unesco in 2003 and are the perfect destination for those who love to go beyond.
I can't wait to meet you!
