Itinerary not perfect? Message Emilio O. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
I propose that you learn more about the neighborhood of Lavapiés and bordering areas from the urbanistic, historical and architectonic point of view. You will learn the history of theaters such as Figaro, Calderon or Pavón, cinemas such as Ideal, and cafés, markets, restaurants, museums or residential buildings in the authentic heart of Madrid. The magazine Time Out has choosen my neighbourhood as "the coolest in the world in 2019". A mixture of local life, traditions, multiculturalism and gentrification in a moment of transformation. Works of architects such as Linazasoro, Muguruza or Jean Nouvel, or street artists such as Boa Mistura or Okudart will be on our tour together.
On tour we will see: - Small hidden gems such as the Municipal Print Works, a magnificent rationalist industrial building from 1930 or the latest place in the area to have a drink like Sala Equis, the last porn cinema in Madrid. - A prison of the Inqusition, hidden on the basement of an old "corrala" in the heart of Lavapies St. - Cascorro Sq. and the history of how the street market called Rastro began, combining antique and vintage furniture. (Rastro only on Sunday morning). - From there to the Tabacalera, the next venue of Reina Sofia Contemporary Art Museum, which will remind you of some industrial buildings in other cities such as Berlin and where you can see some of the best works of street art on its walls. - I will show you the spectacular renovation of the Pías Schools of San Fernando, transformed into a library, according to Linazasoro's project, next to one of the most popular corralas. - We will end our walk together at a local market where you can have a vermouth with tapas.
