Description

Meet us at the central square of Puerta Cerrada, a symbolic and historic starting point. During this tour, we will take you to discover the fascinating history of Madrid by exploring its most famous monuments and squares. Along the way, we’ll pass iconic places such as Plaza Mayor, the city’s former lively market square; Mercado de San Miguel, a modern gourmet spot set in a historic building; and Chocolatería San Ginés, famous for its churros since the 19th century (we won’t stop for a tasting, but it’s worth coming back later!). The route also includes stops near the Royal Palace and Almudena Cathedral, where we will share exciting stories about the Spanish monarchy and Madrid’s transformation through the centuries. You’ll also see Plaza de la Villa, one of the oldest and most charming squares in the city, full of medieval character. This is more than just an architecture tour. It’s a real journey through time, a deep dive into Madrid’s history. You’ll learn how the city was founded, the role of the Moors in its development, and how Madrid became the capital of Spain. One question we’ll answer: do the kings still live in the Royal Palace? Throughout the tour, you’ll discover not only the buildings but also the secrets and stories that bring this vibrant city to life. An immersive experience where every corner, square, and building has its own story to tell.
