Hi, I'm Esther 😊, a painter, interior designer, and official explorer of Barcelona's soulful corners. 🎨🏛️ I experience art, design, and culture not just as disciplines, but as ways of seeing the world… and this city is undoubtedly one of my greatest sources of inspiration. Besides telling you what happened in Barcelona, I love explaining why: what motivated its artists, how its inhabitants thought, and why this city is so intense, contradictory, and fascinating. My tours aren't lectures (don't worry 😄), they're walks full of stories, curious details, unexpected anecdotes, and a few laughs. Traveling has always been part of my education. I've explored Italy, Austria, Germany, the UK, France, and Belgium; I've been amazed by Egypt and South Africa; I've learned a lot from Benin and Togo; and I've crossed the pond to the United States, as well as immersing myself in powerful cultures like China and India, among other destinations. All of this has honed my perspective and my storytelling: I compare, connect, and translate cultures so that Barcelona takes on even greater meaning. If you enjoy discovering a city beyond the postcard image, understanding its character, seeing the buildings with fresh eyes, and feeling like someone is sharing their story with you, like a friend… then let's walk together. Barcelona has so much to say, and I'd be delighted to translate it for you.
