Official Guides’ Association<\/h2>\n

for Tourism<\/h2>\n

in Castilla-La Mancha<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]The Regional Association of Official Guides<\/strong> of Castilla-La Mancha (APIT CLM) has been operating for over forty years<\/strong> and plays a very important role in the promotion and development of tourism in the region through our work of approaching and interpreting the historic-artistic, cultural and ethnographic heritage of our land.
\nThere are many who come to Castilla-La Mancha every year to enjoy not only Toledo<\/strong>, perhaps our “flagship” location<\/strong>, but also countless other cities, towns and corners scattered throughout the incomparable riches of our region. Our affection<\/strong> for our land and our profession<\/strong> makes us perfect ambassadors<\/strong> of its treasures, and we feel compelled to pass it on to all visitors in the most appropriate, faithful and interesting way.
\nOur close<\/strong> collaboration with regional <\/strong>and local institutions<\/strong>, our constant revision<\/strong> and extension of the knowledge we have acquired, as well as the updating and modernization<\/strong> of services make us the association of reference<\/strong>.
\nThere are more than seventy official guides<\/strong> of varied backgrounds that make up our association. We are sure you will find the guide for you here!
\nOur guides will bring you ever closer to Castilla-La Mancha!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
