"Choose a job that you like and you will not have to work a day of your life" Confucius. Madrilenian by birth and traveler by vocation. My passion is traveling and this has also led me to live in Munich for a few years, which has allowed me to grow in many ways. It was in this city, where by chance I started working as a tour guide, a profession that allows me to combine two fields that I am passionate about, tourism and communication. I have always been linked to the world of tourism, which has allowed me to accumulate experience in different sectors and jobs. Ambitious in character, always looking for new projects to go a little further and constantly reinvent myself. This led me in 2019 to create my own tour company in Madrid and Munich called Todo Tours. With my feet on the ground and my eyes on a plane on my way to a new destination, I am always ready to undertake a new project, discover something new and learn as much as possible.

Tour description

Berlin has Kreuzberg, London has Soho… and Madrid has these two sister neighborhoods.

Discover the rich history of the capital's most alternative neighborhoods on our free tour of Chueca and Malasaña, famous throughout Spain for their LGBTI culture and their role in the countercultural movements of the 1980s that led to the so-called Movida Madrileña.

We'll start at Plaza de Chueca, the heart of the Spanish neighborhood most closely linked to the LGBT community.

Our next stop will be the Madrid History Museum. We'll admire its impressive Baroque façade before heading towards Fuencarral Street, one of the city's most dynamic streets.

The walk will take us to Plaza del Dos de Mayo, the vibrant epicenter of Malasaña. Nearby are several historic bars that were crucial to the Movida Madrileña scene of the 1980s.

After two hours of exploration, we'll end the tour at Plaza de Santa María de Soledad Torres y Acosta... although everyone knows it as Plaza de la Luna.

Don't miss the opportunity to explore the most alternative side of Madrid on our Chueca and Malasaña Free Tour!
