Company Director
Manni’s relationship with Spain goes well beyond running a travel company. An experienced guide, travel specialist and Sunday Times bestselling author, he has spent years exploring Andalucía and developing an intimate understanding of its history, culture and people.
His curiosity and willingness to look beyond the obvious have shaped the TOMA & COE philosophy from the very beginning. He remains closely involved in developing our experiences and ensuring that every journey reflects the character of the region.
Favourite place in Andalucia: Somewhere between the villages of Antequera and Archidona- where I live. The landscape is absolutely breathtaking and it’s completely off the tourist track. It’s authentic Spain at its best!
Favourite spanish dish: Definitely ensaladilla rusa – or russian salad- which is a chilled tapas made with potatoes, eggs, tuna and mayonnaise. I especially love the version with gambas– prawns.
Favourite part of the job: Having the opportunity to share my passion for Andalucia with people and seeing them fall under its spell is incredible: it’s like watching the start of a love affair, every time!
