Medieval Madrid: the city hidden in plain sight
Tour description
What if I told you that the oldest part of Madrid is right in front of you... and almost no one stops to look at it?
I invite you on a different journey: a walk to awaken the sleeping city , that medieval Madrid that continues to breathe beneath our streets.
We will walk among Arab walls, squares with names no one remembers anymore, alleys where legends of love, superstition, conquests, and ghosts mingle.
We will start at Plaza de Isabel II and visit places such as the Arab wall , Cuesta de la Vega , Plaza del Alamillo , Plaza de la Paja and many other hidden treasures.
I'll tell you the story of Mayrit , its Muslim suburbs, the reconquest, the Moorish period... and everything that's not covered in the usual tours.
🚫 Don't expect a tour of typical postcards and photos.
✅ We come here to truly look. To notice what everyone else overlooks. To imagine what the city was like when it barely had a handful of streets... and was already full of secrets.
We'll end the tour feeling like we've traveled back in time , with new questions, a different perspective on Madrid... and, I hope, eager to explore it again with me.
💫 If you're looking for a curious, fun walk, full of small stories (and some huge ones), I'm waiting for you with all my passion and my smile.
