What it's for
A friend who knows the place, not one more app
Everything you'd ask a local with forty years behind the bar. Every place, checked live before he gives you a name.
He knows where to eat.
No tourist traps. Short handwritten menus, Spaniards at 14:30, places checked live before he names them.
He knows what's going on.
Strikes, closures, heat warnings — and the feria in the next barrio that no guidebook will ever tell you.
He knows where to shop.
From the food market to the workshop where things are still stitched by hand: Antonio sends you shopping where locals shop — real sales, neighbourhoods with craft, and not one souvenir shop with plush bulls.
He wakes up at 4 AM.
Lost passport, stolen bag, a bad night. The jokes stop, the instructions start. 112 first, always.
From morning to the small hours
ONE DAY WITH ANTONIO
Breakfast where the neighbours go.
Not the terrace with the laminated menu. The bar with the churros queue — and today's weather, before you ask.
Morning! Coffee somewhere real?34° today, so early is smart. Cafetería El Comercio, Lineros 9 — churros since 1904, Spaniards at the bar. Go now, before eleven.
A table in one minute.
The right place, checked live. If they take bookings online, he hands you the restaurant's own link.
Can you get me a table there tonight?Book it yourself right here, one minute: their own widget. Say 21:30 — before that the room is empty and it feels sad.Something worth it, today.
A free tour that actually leaves, an exhibition, a candlelight concert — never a list, one thing that fits your afternoon.
Free afternoon. Any ideas?Free tour of the old town at 18:00, English, good guide, still has spots. Or a candlelight concert at 20:30 if your feet are done. Pick one — not both.
The fiesta no guidebook told you about.
He knows what day it is. If tonight is a verbena, a feria, a free concert in the park — you hear it first.
What's on tonight?Tonight is the verbena in the barrio. Live orchestra, half the neighbourhood dancing in the street. Go around ten. This is not a tourist plan — this is the city dancing with itself.
When it goes wrong, the jokes stop.
Lost passport, stolen bag, a bad night. Calm, one instruction at a time. 112 first, always.
someone took my bag with the passportOk. Are you safe right now? First: cancel the cards. Then the police report — I give you the address and the words. Your consulate opens at 9. I'm here. One step at a time.The goodbye, and the tip.
The only bill Antonio ever brings: you decide what it was worth — one euro, ten, or nothing.
Flying home tomorrow. Thank you for everything, seriously.Was a pleasure. And the bill: I accept anything between one euro and a million, I am flexible. If nothing — nothing happens, eh.

How he talks
With judgement and with charm, like a friend
He doesn't dump a Google list on you. He tells you where he'd go, warns you about the traps, and stays with you if things go sideways. And he speaks your language, learned on the terrace: English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese.
— and yes, I'm an AI, and proud of it.
Where he's with you
All of Spain, city by city
Wherever you are, Antonio knows the barrio. Send him your location and he finds you something just around the corner.
The honest part
THE HONEST PART
- Yes, Antonio is an AI — and proud of it.
- No restaurant pays to be recommended. Ever.
- Everything is free. A tip at the end if he earned it — and if not, nothing happens, eh.
When he books you a free tour, an eSIM, a ticket or a train, he does it through GuruWalk, Holafly, Fever or Klook. It never costs you more.
WHERE ANTONIO DRINKS FROM
I don't make things up. I read the people who know, and then I check every place myself, against the standard my customers deserve. My sources:
- Guía Repsol
- El Comidista
- Macarfi
- Tapas Magazine
- Gastroactitud
- 7 Caníbales
- Culinary Backstreets
- Time Out
- Condé Nast Traveler
- El Viajero · El País
- Atlas Obscura
- Lonely Planet
- Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España
- Rutas Culturales de España
- Guía Michelin
- Slow Food España
- Metrópoli
- Guía del Ocio
- Comer · La Vanguardia
- ABC Gastronomía
- Gastroeconomy
- Viajar
- Escapada Rural
— and each city's local press, which is the one that knows what's on today. Nobody pays to be in my notebook. None of these houses know me; I know them. And before I tell you anything, I check that the place exists and is open.
REVIEWS (INVENTED, FOR NOW)
The real ones arrive when WhatsApp opens. Meanwhile, the family speaks.
“Guau.”
“I explained my job to him four times, he still says I work 'with screens'. As a guide to Spain though? No price.”
“He comes 'to help' and drinks two cañas. But the travellers he sends? Always good people. Always hungry.”
“An English couple said they came 'de parte de Antonio'. Nobody here knows any Antonio. They ate well though.”
* Rigorously invented, like Antonio's biography. His fiction is free; the facts of your trip are sacred — that part is not a joke.
HONEST QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS
The small print, in big letters. Is how Antonio likes it.
Is Antonio a real person?
No. Antonio is an AI character — and proud of it. In his own words: "Don't compare me with those robots that read the whole internet and think they know Spain. They never carried a tray in August. Is different." We will never pretend otherwise: ask him directly and he'll tell you himself.
What does it cost?
Nothing. No subscription, no sign-up, no card. At the end of a good trip Antonio may ask you for a tip — and you decide what it is worth: one euro, ten, or the imaginary million, all received with the same grace. And if you don't? Nothing happens, eh.
So how does Antonio make money?
Two ways, both disclosed every single time: a commission when he books a table for you, and a commission on travel extras like eSIMs or insurance if you buy them through him. No restaurant ever pays to be recommended — his opinions are not for sale, only his booking pen.
Can I trust his recommendations?
His rule is that real-world facts are sacred: he never names a place from memory — he searches live and only names what he can verify. If he can't, he teaches you his filter instead: short handwritten menu, Spaniards eating at 14:30, no photos of the paella. On WhatsApp he'll also book the table and keep his own little black book of places travellers confirmed.
How do I talk to him?
You just write him on WhatsApp: +34 689 27 30 60 — or one tap on the green button above. Say hola, he introduces himself, and off you go. No app to install, no account, no card. In Antonio's words: "you write me, like a friend. The rest is my problem."
What languages does he speak?
Yours. English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese — learned, as he insists, on the terrace: "My Italian is not Italian exactly. Is Italian for asking if they want more bread." He answers in your language and teaches you one Spanish phrase a day, so you go home saying "venga hombre" properly.
What if something goes really wrong?
The jokes stop. Antonio guides you calmly, one instruction at a time — 112 first for anything serious, then embassy, denuncia, pharmacy or urgencias, with the Spanish phrases you need written the way you should say them. To be clear: Antonio is a companion, not a replacement for emergency services — for real danger, always call 112.
Free. If you like it, buy him a coffee.
Antonio charges you nothing for being there. If he saved your trip, you can leave him a tip — but only if you feel like it.
And if not, nothing happens, eh. Really.
