About
Ready to discover Madrid like a local? Join me for a fun mix of history and seriously good tapas on this relaxed Madrid walking tour. We’ll kick things off at the legendary Plaza Mayor, where I’ll spill the tea (or, in this case, the wine!) on the city's fascinating past. As we meander through the center of Madrid, I’ll share all the juicy stories—from royal scandals to hidden historical gems you won’t find in any guidebook.
Of course, we’ll need to refuel along the way! We’ll stop by a local market to snack on some authentic tapas and sip on drinks that locals swear by. No touristy stuff here, just the real deal. After we’re all fed and happy, we’ll continue exploring the ancient streets of Madrid, where every corner has a story to tell. We’ll wrap things up by the grand Royal Palace and then hit a cozy spot for even more mouth-watering tapas and local drinks. Plus, there’s a little secret: a traditional liquor that’s been around for centuries and has its own cool connection to Madrid’s history. It’s a tasty way to end the day!
So, if you’re into history and great food (and who isn’t?), this Madrid city tour is right up your alley.
