A social psychologist by profession, and expert in environmental subjects, Ricardo de Castro has been living in Seville for more than 35 years. He has always been interested in discovering the stories, places, and secrets of the city on the banks of the Guadalquivir, where surprising oddities spring out of every nook and cranny. His interests also take in literature, contemporary art, and ethnic music, and he has a particularly open mind when it comes to the world around us, leading him to work as a travel guide in a range of destinations including France, Italy, Morocco, Tunisia, Slovenia and Turkey.
