Introducing Carlos - your Friend at the other End!
About Me
¡Hola!
I can help you plan your trip to Madrid, Barcelona (where I lived) as well as Zaragoza and the Pyrenees (where I come from).
I don't like to see how people keep falling into the same tourist traps! Sometimes, wrong decisions are made out of ignorance: e.g. using the bus when the train is cheaper and faster, over pay for a very well advertised hotel and miss a very charming one.
I am very much into a more responsible way of travel and connecting travellers with the actual place, not just with the touristy surface. I get good advice from friends and relatives, who know the locations first hand.
I would like you to see the hidden Spain and this applies especially for Zaragoza, a very underrated city, that has a lot to offer if you know where to go.
Hopefully I can share some of those places with you.
¡Hasta luego!
