For many years I have been leading study trips across Spain, Mexico and Portugal. My PhD in art history brought me to Madrid. Wine and gastronomy are the focus of my cultural trips. I pass many personal tips on on my tours and in my travel books.

  5. Calle Mayor
  6. Plaza de la Villa
  7. Plaza Conde de Miranda
