In Tortosa the most exciting thing is the history of its city and its territory of influence since the time of the Iberians. I am passionate about history, especially my territory and ancient times, especially the Middle Ages and the Order of the Temple. My special interest is Romanesque and Gothic architecture, where we can explore sacred geometries and construction. It is the differentiating attraction of the routes that I carry out, finding and showing the mystery, its special location, the antiquity of the place, stories and legends... Feeling and making people feel that the stones also speak.
