EN 65 CAMINITO DEL REY Through a Guide’s Eyes 🌿 More Than Just a Walk | Alessandro Duran
✨ What is it like to work at Caminito del Rey — and walk the same path every day with people seeing it for the very first time?
🎙️ In this episode of #JanaTalk, I’m very happy to welcome Alessandro Durán Quattrociocchi — a guide with LegacyTravel who grew up near Caminito del Rey in southern Spain.
I met Alessandro during our holiday in Spain, when he guided us through Caminito. His humour, warmth and the way he looked after our group made him one of the best guides I’ve ever met. I wanted to hear more about him and his work — so I invited him to Jana Talk!
Half Spanish and half Italian, Alessandro speaks four languages: Spanish, Italian, English and French. He studied translation and interpreting at the University of Córdoba and discovered how much he enjoyed working with people during two summer seasons at a hotel in Menorca.
Since March 2025, he has been welcoming visitors to Caminito del Rey, sharing his knowledge, personal anecdotes and plenty of jokes along the way.
For Alessandro, meeting people from different countries is one of the best parts of the job. He credits his parents with teaching him to be kind and down-to-earth — and believes that even a single smile can turn someone’s day around.
