Although I am only a recently qualified guide, I love people and have had a wealth of experience dealing with customers at our family-run Sacarellos café restaurant in Irish Town. Here, I enjoy sharing the many stories of one of Gibraltar's historic businesses, now 135 years old, as well as Irish Town's fascinating history as Gibraltar's old shopping street. My interests include Latin America, art, travel, and sport. As a well-known local figure, I was interviewed on Gibraltar radio during my tour.
