Meet the Runner Bean Guides
Ann-Marie
Armed with a degree in Ceramics, Ann-Marie spent the next few years running her own workshop, teaching Art and travelling extensively. She feels it was the luck of the Irish to have arrived in Barcelona a few years back. Passionate about guiding, she loves giving tourists insight to this wonderful city.
Gorka
Originally from the Basque Country, Gorka arrived to Barcelona in 2007 after travelling half way around the globe. Nature photographer, mountain trekker and city walker, he fell in love with this place ten years ago. To him, unveiling its secrets to visitors is more a pleasure than a job.
Laura
Born and raised in Barcelona, Laura moved back to her city after living in Scotland where she also worked as a clown doctor. She always says: "I like to make people feel like they are at home, as it is my home town, and to bring back a great impression of Barcelona and its beauty". If you take a tour with her you will probably want to come back for more!
Catherine
After graduating in History of Art and Architecture from Trinity College Dublin, Catherine moved to Spain to specialise in Islamic Art and Catalan Art Noveau. She became so fascinated by the heritage of the "Modernisme" movement that she decided to make Barcelona her home and pass on her enthusiasm to others.
Jessica
When Jessica was a child, her architect father dragged her all around the planet to see the world's greatest buidings. Years later, when she moved to Barcelona, she was so enchanted by the "Modernisme" architecture that she decided to make it her home. Showing people the architectural marvels of the city is something she never gets tired of.
