Walking in Old Town Madrid!

About the tour

The route will start in Puerta del Sol heading to Plaza mayor crossing narrow streets, pink or gold façades, uneven pavements... Old town Madrid is where the oldest sanctuaries in the capital are to be found and, of course, many traditional taverns . Later, we Will be at Plaza de Oriente, a leafy area with plants and trees lined with the statues of Spanish kings from the medieval period.

From the square itself, we'll be contemplating the Madrid's Opera House also known as the Royal Theatre (Teatro Real) and Madrid's Royal Palace (Palacio Real) known to be Europe’s largest palace based on floor area with a whopping 3400+ rooms and 'just' :-) under 1.5 million square feet of floor space.

We'll also look at Almudena Cathedral (Catedral de la Almudena) adjacent to the Royal Palace.

After our first refreshment, we'll continue enjoying other pretty city landmarks and other beautiful hidden streets before finishing at the iconic cast iron vault of the San Miguel food Market (Mercado de San Miguel) where I can give you recommendations for you to enjoy an amazing variety of well-presented tapas bars.
