My name is Sara. I am licensed guide in Madrid and the sorrounding areas. I hold a masters degree in Fine Arts and since I can remember art, languages, culture and history have been passions. I spent my college years in Madrid. Later I developed a career as an Art Educator and I had brief but fulfilling experiences in Tourism and Outreach. Ultimately, my nomadic spirit pushed me to live and work in other places. Italy, the Basque Country, and the USA were part of this fascinating journey. I returned to Madrid in 2019 after 10 years outside with a renewed appreciation and love for my place. I started guiding in 2016. Immediately I knew I was made for it. Today I feel so blessed to have been able to transform my passion for travel and knowledge into a way of living! Facilitating the discovery and enjoyment of my country to others is a real privilege. Madrid has so much to offer and is full of contrasts. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis, but some neighborhoods still preserve the atmosphere of a little quaint town. Its architecture and museums are incredible, its cultural and entertainment options seem endless and its surrounding areas are magnificent. But what makes Madrid really fascinating is its vibrant energy and its way of life. Let me help you to make the most of your stay, sharing the history, art, traditions, gastronomy, and vitality of my land with you. Let me show you how we are, and why this place is so special. I am looking forward to meeting you here and showing you around. I can offer you a private and customized experience that suits your needs, so don't hesitate to ask me about any modifications in my listed tours. I am also more than happy to work for families, offering a fun and educational experience for the young ones too! I am an Official Spanish Guide able to guide in all the National Museums and National Heritage sites. I can organize tours in all the museums, palaces, and districts of the capital. I hold an Official Guide License to guide Toledo's monuments. I can also guide in all Madrid's fascinating surrounding sites like Segovia, Escorial, Aranjuez, and many more. Although I can drive, I prefer to focus on my guide functions, but I can arrange for a car and professional driver.

In this tour we will visit both the Museum and the nearby areas, enjoying one of the most charming neighborhoods of Madrid, the so-called ¨Landscape of Light¨. This historic district designed by the Royal architects boasts impressive fountains, amazing palaces, top museums and lush centenary gardens. The museum itself treasures incredible masterpieces collected by the Spanish dynasties. Here you can enjoy the best of Velazquez, Goya, Rubens, Greco, Bosch or Caravaggio! As a licensed guide with a master's degree in Fine Arts I will help you to navigate this immense collection. I can adapt this tour to your interests, just ask me!
•We can meet outside the Museum or if you are staying in central Madrid I can pick you up directly in your hotel/homestay. We can share a walk to the Prado, or we take a local taxi (not included in the price). •We'll begin the tour with an explanation of the origins of this incredible collection. We will explore European schools like the Italian Renaissance or the Flemish masters. Later we will focus our attention on Spanish painters like Velazquez, Ribera, Greco, or Goya, ending with the world-renowned Black Paintings! • After the museum, we will start our walking tour admiring the exterior of the Botanical Gardens and the fountains and greenery of Prado avenue. Crossing the Retiro Park we can discover its beautiful monuments, fountains and ponds and enjoy a genuine local atmosphere. We will also enjoy the regal architecture of the Alcala's Gate and the Cibeles square. Finaly I will take you to a rooftop from where you can see Madrid from a different perspective. A picture you will never forget!

I suggest to meet by the statue of Goya, just opposite of the ticket office of the Prado Museum. https://maps.app.goo.gl/XSsB1tRHqkcyVQuX9. Another option is to meet at your hotel. Just let me know what works better for you!
