Explore the Earth

Hola! My name is Carlos and I am the main guide of Explore la Tierra, based in Vejer de la Frontera. I do culinary and hiking tours in Cadiz province. In these private guided hiking tours in Cadiz province I offer incredible hikes in La Breña, El Estrecho and Los Alcornocales natural parks while learning about local traditions and about the culinary, medicinal and gastronomical use of the Mediterranean plants. Habitats range from dense forest reminiscent of cloud forest, laurisilva, to Mediterranean forest, dune systems, and more. Cadiz province is home to one of the most known international wines, the famous sherry wine. I do private sherry and Andalusian wine tastings in Cadiz as well as authentic bodega tours. Join our culinary and cultural tours, where we go and visit the famous white towns of Cadiz and learn about the traditional bluefin tuna fishing method, almadraba, or visit a local olive press, almazara. I look forward to showing you this incredibly diverse province in the most southern point of mainland Spain. If this is what you are looking for, then contact me to help you design your perfect holiday in Cadiz. I can help you create your own private bespoke tour.

Hola! I'm Carlos and I live in Vejer de la Frontera, Cádiz. I funded this company and am the main guide for Explore la Tierra tours! I studied an Msc in Environment and have worked in the environmental field for 5 years between Canada and UK. After working and travelling outside of Spain for several years, I realized how amazing it is that many of Spain’s resources, including pork, are sustainably harvested.

When I recognised that many friends and people who I met outside Spain knew little about the varied and wonderful products and places that Spain has to offer, so I realised that I needed to design culinary tours to change this and promote my varied culture and gastronomy. Thus, I decided to do something about it by creating Explore la Tierra in Vejer de la Frontera.
Being a wine lover I studied wine courses. I earned a Level 2 certificate with Distinction from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust(WSET), a globally recognised program. My partner and I adopted a dog and named him "Monti" for Amontillado, one of my favourite type of sherries! I am also first aid certified.
