Ulpi, founder of the guide agency DIAZ CASTAN, is an Aragonese native who settled in Tarbes, in the south of France, around 1998.Captivated by the beauty of the French Pyrenees, he began exploring the region alongside his wife, who was also a guide and interpreter.This experience sparked his passion for the tourism and guiding profession.
With more than twenty-four years of experience living in the Pyrenees, Ulpi has built a strong reputation as a guide-interpreter, working closely with travel agencies and tour operators to create memorable cultural experiences for visitors.His mission has always been to warmly welcome guests and showcase the rich heritage and landscapes of the region.
His guiding career began with city tours in Lourdes and soon expanded to destinations such as Pau, Toulouse, Tarbes, Auch, the Cathar Country, the Basque Country, and the Aragonese Pyrenees in northern Spain.Over the years, his extensive experience has given him deep insight into the tourism potential of the Pyrenees, leading him to design new tours and excursions.
Spain, particularly Aragon, remains one of Ulpi’s greatest passions.He enjoys introducing French visitors to Aragonese culture while also welcoming Spanish travelers to discover the French Pyrenees.
