Description

We propose you discovering the neighborhood of Lavapiés from the urbanistic, historical and architectonic point of view. We recommend you to save some time before the aperitif at the Rastro to walk together and learn about the history of theaters as Figaro, Calderon or Pavón, cinemas as Ideal, cafés, markets, restaurants, museums or residential buildings in the authentic heart of Madrid. Works of architects as Linazasoro, Muguruza or street artists as Okudart will be on our tour together. Small gems hidden as the Municipal printing, magnificent rationalist industrial building of 1930 or the latest in the area to have a drink like the Sala Equis, the last X cinema in Madrid. The Sueca Palace precedes Cascorro and the history of how the famous street market called Rastro began, combining the most traditional with the latest vintage furniture. From there to the Tabacalera that it will remember you some industrial buildings of other cities as Berlin and where you could see some of the best works of street art at its walls. The extension of Reina Sofía Museum by Jean Nouvel, returning to Lavapiés by Argumosa Street, visiting some of its corralas, the most typical type of housing, ending our walk at the San Fernando Market where you can have a vermouth and tapas while I give you some tips for your stay in Madrid.
