About Heidi

I'm the researcher, walker, and co-founder behind Spain on Foot. For years, I've been uncovering Spain's stories, especially in Andalusia, where history clings to every stone and the landscapes feel alive beneath your feet. What started as a passion for travel grew into something deeper: a commitment to understanding Spain's cultural heart. I've walked its ancient caminos, explored its layered past, and met the people whose lives and traditions rarely appear in guidebooks. My goal is to help you experience Spain in a way that's authentic, meaningful, and connected, so every journey feels like more than just a trip.
