Free Tour Centennial Taverns of Madrid

Not all cats live in Madrid, and not all cats in Madrid are cats. Some had to go out and carry the city inside. Others, we stay, we continue discovering it; discovering more of its secrets, more of its corners, more of its people. Some of us walk through unknown streets to know a little more about the city where we were born and the one that saw us grow up. To us, to our parents, to our grandparents ... Do you know why they call us cats? Do you know when you are a real cat? Let me take you through my favorite corners, tell you what no one knows, discover this chaotic city and give you space in places to breathe. Let me take you to taverns with history, to walls that have seen war, let me show you who walked our avenues. Because history is not always what we were taught in school. Because history often gets out of the books and comes to life in buildings, in statues, in images. Because History is not just data, names and dates. Because history can be savored, it can be laughed at, it can be told in a way that is contagious. Because no one can speak better of something than someone who is in love with it. And I love Madrid as much as I love History and its traditions. A lot of people have passed through Madrid, are you going to leave Madrid without her having passed by you?

Tour description

Are you looking for a great experience in Madrid? Come and discover its centuries-old taverns. Onyx bars, donuts and wines, horses that make pools, elements from Russia that serve us today.
Ava Gadner, Alfonso XII, Wharhol, Juanito Valderrama, Matahari and Sinatra. Menu changes due to the Civil War that were so successful that they continue today, places where Cervantes wrote the second part of Don Quixote or where there were chocolate mills, plans to end the monarchy...

This mixture of elements is not a bad joke, it is Madrid and its taverns , it is history and its places, its gastronomy, it is tradition and its origins.

On this tour we will approach the history of Madrid from its centuries-old taverns and its gastronomy with a different look and we will whet our appetite. What are you waiting for? Come and discover the history and culture of the city through its oldest taverns. Make your reservation!
