Free Tour: Writers, Golden Age, cafes and bohemian life in Madrid's Literary Quarter

LIMITED PLACES

The Glorious Literary Quarter and its eccentric neighbors

Madrid is not to be explored: it is to be listened to... And on this free tour of the Literary Quarter, Madrid speaks.

Accompanied by a local guide who is an expert in history, literature and heritage, you will immerse yourself in a cultural experience where history, theater, novels and poetry merge in the streets of Madrid's historic center.

This is not a tour of dates and names.

It is a narrative journey through literary Madrid, where the walls of the buildings breathe literature and the words left their mark.

You will discover Valle-Inclán's indomitable spirit and his defiance of our first Nobel Prize winner, José Echegaray; Federico García Lorca's lyrical sensibility; and Jacinto Benavente's elegant dramaturgy.

We will travel back in time to the Spanish Golden Age, in front of the houses of Lope de Vega and Miguel de Cervantes, reliving the disputes of the eternal enemies Góngora and Quevedo, while you feel how the characters who were born there still walk through the most literary neighborhood in Spain.
