Passionate about history, I consider myself a dynamic and fun person. An Andalusian more settled in Madrid. I have lived in various cities and countries, I have always relied on free tours for local people to show you that less touristy part of the city but just as or more interesting if possible. Sure we had a great time together :)

Tour description

An interesting and enjoyable visit to understand the reasons why countless buildings in Madrid are crowned by gods, goddesses, heroes and all kinds of divinities and mythological animals who watch over us from above. Going through many others that we can find at street level. We will start in Gran Vía at the height of the Santo Domingo subway, we will walk the entire great route contemplating and commenting on the different deities that we will find in our path, we will continue along the meadow walk ending in Cibeles, so famous as well as unknown. Do you dare to daydream on this 2:30 trip? I count on you! :)

Fuimos porque a mi hija le gusta la mitología y al final las explicaciones de Esperanza nos atraparon a todos. Lo hace muy ameno, divertido y sobre todo muy didactico. Totalmente recomendable.

Esperanza cómo guía es excepcional, se nota que le apasiona la mitología grecorromana y la historia de cada edificio donde se encuentra cada estatua. Totalmente recomendable. El recorrido y las explicaciones estuvieron muy bien y muy nutrido
