Description

The sightseeing tour will begin with an introduction on how to ride a bike safely around the city. Then we'll get on our non-electric Trek and Specialized brand bikes. Don't worry, we'll adapt the sightseeing tour to your fitness level! The first thing we'll see is a hill, from where we'll enjoy views that will help us understand the complex history of my city. Mad princes, witches, and nuns guarding the relics of saints will appear before us in this area of central Madrid. We'll get to know the oldest square in the city, which isn't visited by large groups of tourists. There, we'll relax and enjoy the tranquility with some drinks and tapas. On our way, we'll cross Puerta del Sol to discover the neighborhood where the writers of the Golden Age lived and where bohemians a hundred years ago spent what they didn't have in bars decorated with beautiful tiles. But first, it's almost mandatory to go up to a rooftop to enjoy the views of Madrid, just as the many spies who populated the city during the Civil War did. After a short climb, we'll arrive at the royal gardens of Buen Retiro, where we'll feel like royalty, and later we'll cross the city's most chic neighborhoods on our way back to the starting point.
