Why this time tour Feels Completely Different

It’s siesta time, but it’s our walking time. Madrid gets the volume down and the detail goes up. The afternoon has a special magic. It is not as shiny and bustling as during the morning or the night when everyone is about to get to the bars and clubs. It’s just the time where the traditional Madrid has a long nap and the traffic has some empty spots and the city allows you to look and listen better.

This tour will have the same itinerary as the morning one, but the experience is completely different. You will feel the city is bigger and more imposing. This tour will take you through gardens that once held all the power of the city, literature that was stronger than weapons, and streets that have seen many, many centuries pass through its surfaces.

Afternoon Walking Tour Itinerary: From Royal Origins to Local Life

Our amazing tour starts in the Opera House, a plaza just above the city origins, the water of Madrid and its relation with its name.
