Discovering Medieval Madrid
We will visit some places that even the locals don't know. The origins of the capital city go back to the Middle Ages, when it was a small military city. Several old places remains, like the medieval muslim wall in the gardens of Emir Mohamed I, narrow streets with curious names of Arab influence or Jewish origins, squares where kings and princesses watched medieval tournaments at Plaza del Alamillo.
We will see the Jewish quarter and the towers of old mosques, now transformed into churches, such as Pedro el Viejo or the Capilla del Obispo. We'll even see a secret garden that was the orchard of a convent. Or the Tower and Palace of Los Lujanes, a very important family in the old times of Madrid. Are places where its walls speaks about the Madrid of the three cultures and the three religions.
We will finish the route very close to the Plaza Mayor, where we can talk quietly and you can ask me any questions you have about the city or the information you need.
Contact me for a different time schedule request or private groups. This experience is perfect for business groups that want to find something different. It is also perfect for groups of friends.

Welcome to Madrid! One of Europe's most exciting yet misunderstood cities. What it lacks in famous tourist attractions, it more than makes up for in wild history, beautiful views and exciting local stories.

We'll travel through the history that shaped the city, explore the food and drink traditions, and solve some local mysteries. Why did people avoid plaza mayor for decades? Why are a group of women locked inside a city centre building? Was the most defining 'accident' of Madrid's story actually a well planned crime?

P.S I strongly recommend taking this tour early in your trip as there are lots of things you'll discover you want to do while you're here :)
