About Tour Guide Hugo M.

Although I was born in Barcelona, my life took me on a journey across cultures—from the south of Spain to the markets of Tunisia, and from the boulevards of France to the shores of Argentina. My academic background in Arabic Philology has given me a unique lens to decipher the rich, multicultural history of this city, from its Moorish influences to its medieval past.

I returned to my birthplace with a mission: to tell its deepest stories. My tours are designed for curious travelers who want to move beyond the monuments and understand the true soul of a place. I reveal the hidden context, the forgotten legends, and the fascinating curiosities that even many locals don't know.
