Overview of your Madrid tour:

I'll start us out with a historical introduction to both Spain's and Madrid's history, in the unofficial city center of Madrid (Puerta del Sol) where hundreds of locals and tourists pass by every day. I'll tell you about major events that took place during the 1600s and 1700s, such as the bullfights and Autos de Fé (inquisition trials), as well as a popular market that offers tapas, our traditional Spanish and madrilenian dishes, that originally was in one of the squares we'll explore. Further in our tour, we'll marvel at the beautiful Royal Palace, the biggest of its kind in Europe, as well as at Madrid's Opera House. We'll also enjoy one of the greatest views of Madrid and its surroundings, including the mountains to the north of the city, from a special place over a thousand years old: the walls of Madrid, which were built by the Moorish people to protect themselves from the attacks of the Christians. The following itinerary could be customized upon request:
