We want to discover these places, transport you to the moment in which the greatest acts of weapons happened, make you understand the whys and show you where.

La visita ha sido muy enyretenida y enriquecedora, y el guía Raúl es muy amable y ameno. Sin duda repetiremos más actividades con él.

One of our primary reasons for visiting Spain was to tour a Peninsular War battlefield. I was very excited to find Raul and El Primer Edecan, and even more excited with his prompt response to my email inquiry and scheduling of our tour. Mind you we traveled from Los Angeles, California to see this! Raul picked us up at our Salamanca hotel and provided a very thorough, very entertaining drive around the various spots related to the battle. He had pictures, maps, actual musket balls, and when he pulled out his telescope so we could see what the British officers would have seen he blew me away! Raul obviously knows his stuff - I could not stump him with any of my questions. The entire experience was amazing and a highlight of our trip. I cannot recommend this more highly. If you want to truly understand this battle, and its context in the Spanish War of Independence, this is the tour for you. P.S. he even knows all about the Sharpe's series of books and talks about that too!

Raúl met me at my hotel and we headed off on a tour.
A great storyteller Raúl helped describe all perspectives as the battle progressed and made me leave feeling grateful and knowledgeable from the experience.
I cannot emphasise enough how great of a guide and experience this is. If you appreciate the Napoleonic wars or want to learn more about Salamanca’s history I recommend this tour!
