My name is Ksenia Tinyakova, and I founded Spades & Serenades to share the most authentic side of Spain through exclusive cultural experiences.

For over a decade, I have dedicated my career to the world of Spanish culture, with a particular focus on bullfighting and flamenco. As a bullfighting journalist, lecturer, and qualified bullring president, I have attended hundreds of bullfights and cultural events across Spain, gaining a deep understanding of these traditions from both a professional and personal perspective.

Throughout my career, I have been invited to speak at conferences and cultural events across Spain and have collaborated with television, radio, and international media, helping to introduce the richness of Spanish heritage to audiences around the world.

More importantly, years of experience have allowed me to build trusted relationships with artists, matadors, breeders, and many of the people who keep these traditions alive. These connections make it possible to offer experiences that go far beyond conventional tourism, providing privileged access to places, people, and moments that are rarely available to visitors.

Every experience I create is rooted in authenticity, respect for tradition, and a genuine passion for sharing the cultural soul of Spain.
