Hello there, I'm Ignacio, your guide to the vibrant tapestry of Madrid's culture and history and nearby cities. I was born and raised right here in this captivating city, and it's not just my home; it's my heart and soul.
My journey into the world of art and history began with a profound love for both. I hold degrees in Fine Arts and Art History, and for the past ten years, I've had the privilege of being an official tour guide. Through my work, I've had the pleasure of unlocking the treasures of the Prado Museum and its incredible collections, strolling through the enchanting streets of Madrid, peeling back the layers of history in Toledo, understanding the hidden meanings of modern art at the Reina Sofia Museum and offering an exclusive glimpse into the grandeur of the Royal Palace.
But my passion for art extends far beyond my professional life. I'm also a painter and photographer, and I infuse my tours with a unique artistic perspective. For fifteen years, I served as a Creative Director in the world of advertising, a role that allowed me to express my creativity in new and exciting ways.
And then there's my love for horses. It's not just a hobby; it's a deep-rooted passion. I lead thrilling equestrian journeys through the breathtaking Sierra de Madrid, where the bond between man and horse takes center stage. Across these mountains, I also may lead you into El Escorial, Avila, and Segovia, where history, art, and nature meet.
When you join me on a tour, you're not just exploring art and history; you're discovering it through the eyes of a true Madrileño. My dedication, love, and intimate knowledge of my country ensure that your experience will be unforgettable. Come, let me be your guide to the heart and soul of Madrid, and nearby locations, where art, history, and passion come together in a way that's bound to leave a lasting impression.
