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.


Got questions? Want something custom? Let’s talk!
✨ Send me a message and I’ll be happy to help. Whether it’s to book a tour, ask for a recommendation, or just say hi – I’m here.
