We are a young team that left Spain in 2009 and we are in London to create this beautiful project. At the request of our "walkers" we grew up in Paris, Dublin, Budapest, Cordoba, Cadiz, Porto, Lisbon, Segovia, Salamanca, Rome and Athens teaching these cities to thousands of Spanish speakers. We are professional guides and we are madly in love with every corner of the cities we teach.
