About Tour Guide Rafael R.

Hello! My name is Rafael, an architect, and I have a PhD in architecture focused in architectural theory and contemporary vernacular architecture. I have a Master’s degree in Architecture and historic heritage, and a Master's degree in Education. I have been working for 18 years carrying out very diverse projects in architectural design and urban planning. In 2017. I changed my activity towards cultural management, heritage dissemination, curating and designing exhibitions and cultural events.


Beside this I am very involved in the cultural life of the city. I have been the director of several cultural festivals, and have been collaborating in organizing several exhibitions, conferences and other cultural events in Seville the last years. I love drawing, architecture, art, history and gastronomy.


I would like to share with you my passion about Seville and Andalusia with a different point of view, through the eyes of architecture.
