Madrid Off the Beaten Path: Salamanca, Chueca, Las Letras & more!

Let's skip the crowds and discover Madrid's hidden gems! We will go in a completely different direction and immerse ourselves in the life of local celebrities and old-money individuals who have long since chosen the Salamanca district, called the Spanish capital's Upper East Side - the most luxurious and refined district of Madrid. We will visit Ernest Hemingway's favorite cafe and the bar that Frank Sinatra visited during his trips to the Spanish capital. Then we will move to the most independent district of Madrid, Chueca, where we will explore cozy little squares, unusual art galleries, stylish shop windows, the royal church - a symbol of insurmountable love, delicious food markets and even a palace, one of the architects of which was Antonio Gaudi himself! We will walk through the literary quarter. This is a district known for the fact that the most famous figures of the Golden Age of Spanish literature lived here, a district with narrow streets, charming shops, bars and taverns.
