Hi, I'm Maria Belen. Your hostess in Madrid. I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Psychopedagogy in my country, Argentina. After many years working in my profession, my curious and adventurous soul led me to discover a great passion that I did not know: tourism. My years as a tour guide have taken me down different and exciting paths. First discovering Danish lands and then returning to my first great love, Madrid. I can promise you that from my hand you will feel the warmth of this land that I admire so much. Its exquisite gastronomy and the passion embodied in each neighborhood will make you fall in love and want to return again and again. I wait for you to enjoy, know and understand the history of one of the oldest and most exciting capitals in Europe.

We will begin the tour by immersing ourselves in the LA LATINA neighborhood to discover the walls that defended the ancient town of Madrid and thus understand how the city expanded until today.
with every step We will delve into the heart of the neighborhood, to understand the origins of the Madrid traditions that, to this day, are still valid and make us vibrate.
