Nice to meet you!
I'm Maria, your local guide in Barcelona

If you’ve made it here, it probably means you’re looking for a more authentic, local, and personal way to experience Barcelona – and I love that! 👋


I’m Maria, born and raised in Barcelona, a journalist by training and a passionate tour guide by choice. With Guapalona, I want to share with you the city I know and love: its history, energy, neighborhoods, and all those hidden corners you won’t find in traditional travel guides.

What is Guapalona?

Guapalona is more than just a tour project – it’s my way of showing you the real Barcelona, from a local’s perspective.


I offer tailor-made tours, tasty food routes, and unique experiences (yes, we even have a Techno Tour!). Everything is flexible and designed around your interests, your pace, and your vibe.
