Take a journey into the world of Street Art in Madrid as we explore one of its most fascinating neighbourhoods, Lavapiés. This multicultural melting pot sets the stage for our walk as we discover the hidden works, secrete details and the huge murals of this vibrant barrio.
We will see the unmissable open-air pieces by internationally acclaimed artists, point out the cool details that the local art community creates, and finish off with an exclusive behind the scenes tour of an urban gallery that's causing waves in the Madrid art scene.
This tour is focused on Urban Art — from legal street art to illegal graffiti and everything in between and how it helps tell the stories and the history of Lavapiers , voted one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.
We guarantee you’ll leave with a newfound appreciation and skills to decipher the hidden messages on the walls around you and how to recognise different graffiti styles and types of street art.
To round off the experience we’ll have insider access to the urban art gallery and tour the space with the gallery director. And we’ll end our experience by sharing our tips for Madrid to help you make the most of your time in the city
