We can highly recommend Joaquín. Not only does he have a very sympathetic and friendly nature but he also has an incredible knowledge of the background of the paintings and the temporal classification. For us as art lovers, visiting the Prado was a must. We particularly liked the enthusiasm and dedication with which he explained the various paintings. This is not classic superficial leadership. It's really special. He also responds superbly to the prior knowledge and preferences of art. Thank you. We will remember the lead with Joaquín as the highlight of Madrid.
