Overview of your Madrid tour

This tour provides a lively insight into how is this unique city. Madrid is the oldest capital in Europe, it became the capital of Spain in 1561. Although the city hasn't stopped growing since then, Madrid maintains as a treasure its historical area, the Madrid that we call "castizo", the most authentic Madrid in which, fortunately, I have the pleasure of living! Let me show you my neighbourhood, its history, traditions, legends and its hidden gems. If you like History, this is your tour. The tour is focused in the two historical areas: Madrid of the Hapsburgh and Madrid of the Bourbons. In this tour we'll explore together the Royal Madrid, we'll walk through narrow streets, pedestrian areas and nice boulevards. We'll enjoy the great atmosphere of this very welcoming city and I'll introduce you into its fascinating culture. The tour will be done by walking and, if you feel like resting and relaxing for a while, let me take you for a drink and a "tapa" at one of my favorite typical bars in the Oldtown.
