I am a Journalist, a Teacher of Spanish Language and Literature and a Tourism Guide. I love History and, more specially, stories and anecdotes which make any account to become funny and unforgettable. And that's what I want our tour to be: a memorable experience for all. I'm also friendly and talkative, always willing to solve the questions of my guests. I'm also a foddie and I know good places to eat Spanish food.
It's Sunday and we're going to the Rastro !!!!
The main activity that can be done, in Madrid , on a Sunday morning. An open-air market that has been held since 1740 and has more than 3,500 stalls selling all kinds of items. And, when we finish, I will show you the area where it takes place: La Latina.
Do you want to know why it is called that? Well, sign up for my tour and get to know the history of Madrid.
You will know where the Arab cemetery was , we will see the most beautiful view of the Church of San Francisco el Grande , which has the third largest dome in the Catholic world; We will see the most charming and unknown hanging garden in the city, that of the Prince of Anglona ; I will also show you one of the two oldest churches in Madrid, that of Pedro el Viejo , which dates back to 1202 and which has the largest number of confreres in Spain. In addition, you will see remains of the Christian wall , from the 12th century. We will walk through the Cava Baja , just 300 square meters that house more than 50 bars . I will show you the most curious trompe l'oeil in the city , in the Plaza de Carros. In addition, you will see the place where San Isidro was born , in 1082, and the house where he lived and died, in 1172, which today is the Museum of Origins. And, finally, a typical sweet from Caramelos Paco , the oldest candy store in the city, not in vain it has been delighting locals and foreigners since 1934.
I will be at the Ópera metro exit, in Plaza de Isabel II, next to the metro elevator.
