Tour description

Do you want to experience a different kind of Madrid, far from the crowded city center? I invite you to discover Vallecas , a neighborhood with a soul of its own, full of history, rebellion, and community pride.

We'll start at Juan José García Espartero Park , a beloved green space in Puente de Vallecas, perfect for kicking off the tour and establishing the neighborhood's history. From there, we'll walk to Rayo Vallecano Stadium , a symbol of identity and passion for football, where we'll talk about how Rayo Vallecano is much more than a club: it's the heart of Vallecas.

We'll continue our walk to Amós Acero Park , a green space that commemorates a Republican mayor who became a figurehead for social justice. We'll then arrive at Peña Gorbea Boulevard , the scene of popular festivals and everyday life, where we'll meet the beloved Abuela Rockera , a cultural and musical symbol of the neighborhood.

Our route will descend to the Plaza Vieja de Vallecas , the old nerve center of the neighborhood, to end at the Parish of San Ramón Nonato , one of the most representative buildings in the area and the perfect place to close the experience.

An authentic, intimate, and unique tour, ideal for those looking to discover the real Madrid beyond Puerta del Sol. Reserve your spot and come experience Vallecas with me!
