About me
Hi! I'm Bea!
Born and raised in Madrid, I’m a geographer with a passion for places—not just maps and landscapes, but the stories, streets, and people that bring them to life. I love wandering through neighborhoods (both at home and when I travel), always on the lookout for spots that feel genuine, lived-in, and full of personality.
I'm also a CrossFit enthusiast and a big fan of discovering cities on the run—literally! For me, a perfect day might include a good workout followed by a great coffee or snack in a place that tells its own story.
To me, places are emotions, memories, and shared moments. I hope the ones I recommend help make your time in Madrid just a little more unforgettable.
