Algún año, quizás el año 2026, del 15 al 19 de Marzo, tenéis que venir a Valencia (España). Os invitaría a disfrutar de las Fallas… ¿Os apetece?
Hello @JuanCarlos_druidas
Thank you for the invite. However, suggest you write a detailed post explaining what ‘the Fallas’ are, what is special about them, why local guides should visit them, and what they can expect to see in Valencia.

Hi everyone!
My name is Elo B., and I’m a Local Guide from Paris. I’ve been contributing to Google Maps for a while now, with over 7.5 million views across my reviews and photos. Sharing honest reviews and highlighting exceptional hotels has been a rewarding experience, but I’m still learning and growing every day.
I’m new to Google Connect and excited to join this amazing community. While I haven’t had the chance to collaborate with others yet, I’d love to connect with experienced Local Guides who can share their advice, guide me, or even collaborate on exciting projects in the future.
I believe there’s so much we can learn from each other, and I’d be thrilled to hear your stories or tips. Feel free to reach out — let’s grow together!
Thanks,
Elo B.

It’s been two years since I first started contributing to Google Maps, and I’m currently in the 6th position with 914,821 views.Exploring new places and writing reviews about them is something I really enjoy. I also have a passion for photography.It would be great if you could follow, like, and share.

Hello, I’m Hassan from Bangladesh.
I’m a thoughtful, family-oriented individual with a strong interest in science, politics, philosophy, and current affairs. I value meaningful conversations and lifelong learning.
When I’m not diving into intellectual topics, I enjoy peaceful rainy days, classic music from the '70s and '80s, and spending quality time with my family. I also love feeding birds from my balcony and living a calm, mindful life away from the crowd.
Staying grounded, curious, and connected defines who I am.

- Name: Md. Ali Hassan
- Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh
- What I love about being a Local Guide: I enjoy sharing genuine insights and thoughtful reviews that help people discover peaceful, meaningful places—away from the noise—while contributing to a more connected and informed community.
- My favorite thing to explore: Quiet, cozy spots in the city—especially during rainy days—coffee places with character, and areas where birds gather. I also love exploring locations that hold historical or political significance.
- Fun Fact about me: I feed birds from my balcony every morning, enjoy classic music from the '70s and '80s, and love watching the rain with a cup of coffee—it’s my perfect idea of peace.
