Description:

Follow in the footsteps of the Spanish capital's founders to admire the nostalgic charm of traditional neighborhoods and make your way through the city's history. Munch on some snacks, learn about Madrid's multicultural heritage and cuisine, and explore the chic and modern side of Madrid.

Travel back in time as you wander the charming streets of iconic districts. Stroll through gardens, plazas, and cloisters – all full of history to share – and come face-to-face with the city's multicultural society and the trendy buildings that make up its cosmopolitan air.

Start your tour with a sweet treat for breakfast to provide some energy for the rest of the tour. Visit the La Latina neighborhood where Madrid was founded, home to charming coffee shops and traditional restaurants with a bohemian atmosphere. See 17th century old inns transformed into chic trendy hotels, the biggest flea market of the country, or the famous Rastro Market.

Next, you stop at a perfect example of cultural fusion—the Lavapiés district, once a spot for true Madrileños and now home to different nationalities and cultures. Here you visit the colorful food market, enjoy a delicious snack, and get key facts about Romani culture and flamenco.

Your tour ends with another visit to a lively food market and arts centre. Here you can learn about the gypsy and flamenco culture in Madrid while tasting some samples of that fantastic Spanish cuisine.
