I dedicate my life to tourism and cultural trips. I am a passionate person of my city and I enjoy teaching it to people who want to know. I have been lucky enough to be able to travel around the world and I like that people in my tours feel comfortable and not as a tourist, that is hospitality.

Madrid is a city with infinite possibilities, I will summarize it in 1 day and I will not leave anything apart! In addition to being and authentic local, I also have and History Degree. For 2 hours we'll admire a special selection of masterpieces in the best gallery in the world, in detail I will explain the historical context of the painting, the meaning and the techniques used. We will see not only the most important masterpieces in the Prado, but also some of my favorite and less-known pieces. The Prado Museum is great and there are only masterpieces within its walls: Velazquez, Goya, El Greco, Veronese, Van Dyck, Rubens, Tintoretto, Titian, Raphael, Bosch. . . just impressive. Walking tour (2h). The origins of Madrid date back to the Middle Ages, we will visit its narrow medieval streets full of legends, to continue visiting some of the most impressive monuments, basilicas, palaces and the busiest squares. . . and some hidden gems.
