Carmen Gavilán, a Sevillian historian and licensed tour guide.

My passion for storytelling began in childhood, listening to the legends and unique historical figures of Seville. However, it was during my university years that this passion truly deepened, as I uncovered the extraordinary historical, cultural, and artistic wealth of my hometown.

After graduating with a degree in History from the University of Seville and completing a Master’s Degree in American History, I moved abroad to sharpen my English. Upon returning, I began working in the tourism industry, spending my free time traveling across Europe. It was during those travels that I fell in love with guided tours, realizing that the people who show you a place are key to helping you truly appreciate its culture and identity.

My work

In 2019, after over a year of intensive preparation, I earned my Official Tour Guide License from the Andalusian Regional Government, and I have been working independently since 2021. I specialize in private and small-group experiences for travelers seeking a rich, authentic connection to the real Seville. I have also collaborated with local cultural associations, organizations, and international schools, delivering lectures on Andalusian heritage.
