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:
-We'll start at Puerta del Sol, where we'll see the emblem of the city, the Osa y el Madroño statue. -Then we'll arrive at Plaza Mayor, the city's main square. -Next, we'll pass over Plaza de Puerta Cerrada to learn about Madrid's beginnings. -We'll continue towards the oldest restaurant in the world, Sobrino de Botín. -We'll then learn about tapas in the famous San Miguel Market, where we'll be able to taste some. -Then we'll head to the narrow alleys of Madrid to see the old Corpus Christ church, inhabited by a group of nuns who sell their famous pastries for a living. -Plaza de la Villa is our next stop where we'll see the oldest buildings in town. -After that, we'll go to the walls of Madrid, its oldest construction. -Next, we'll see the famous Almudena Cathedral, the place of the last royal wedding in Madrid. -Then we'll see the Royal Palace of Madrid, the biggest one in Europe. -The last stop will be in Plaza de Oriente, with more views of the Royal Palace & the Teatro Real (Royal Theater).
