Hello wanderers and other travellers! I am Andrea and I will be happy to walk you through my hometown, Madrid, and/or its whereabouts. I graduated in Art History. Besides, I also love history, literature, cinema and everything that is a bliss for the senses. I've traveled a lot and I lived several years in the United States. I think Madrid is a very special city, with a marked identity, amazing life in its streets, as well as a very wide range of cultural and gastronomic opportunities. Either if you're an art fan or would just like to explore the best museums in Madrid or the city and its history, your choice is perfect. If you like walking, finding new places, new standpoints, discovering special streets, getting lost in charming neighbourhoods, here you have the perfect companion. I love wandering about the city, observing beautiful, special, sometimes small, details. My passion is to convey the interlinkages between history, art, literature, science… I move away from a fragmented view. I often work with families too, which induces me to address simultaneously a wide range of ages, a diversity of interests. I have been working in a radio show on art insights in Madrid: a cabinet of curiosities on air. Walking beside you, I'll guide your senses to see the invisible. I can design special tours according to your needs. Tell me your interests, your passions, and I will customise the perfect tour for you!

Overview of your Madrid tour
We will take a walk through the avant-garde art of the early 20th century, focusing on the figure of Picasso, but without forgetting many other creators who lived in the fascinating Paris of those years, or at least looked upon it with the highest regard, from Spain. Cubism, surrealism, abstraction, intermingle at a time when the world was becoming modern. Then we will go out on the streets to stroll through Madrid literary quarters, a very charming neighborhood, where its roads bear the names of the great writers of the Spanish golden age. These streets with striking facades are now filled with small and well-taken-cared-of concept stores, with very interesting designs and products. We can see how the creative passion is kept alive here.
