Alternative tour: Malasaña and Chueca

In 1 hour and 45 minutes you will explore two neighborhoods that shaped the city's cultural identity: Malasaña, a symbol of resistance and counterculture, and Chueca, a global benchmark for diversity and freedom.

You'll walk the streets where the 1808 uprising began, where the figure of Manuela Malasaña emerged, and where, centuries later, the creativity of the Movida Madrileña exploded with its music, film, and irreverent aesthetic. You'll discover how these former working-class areas filled with artists, students, and urban tribes who transformed the neighborhood into a cultural laboratory. And upon crossing into Chueca, you'll see how a run-down neighborhood was reborn thanks to the strength of the LGBTQ+ community, becoming an international icon of freedom, modernity, and nightlife. History, revolution, pop culture, and surprising anecdotes combine in a tour that reveals the most authentic soul of Madrid, both past and present.

A dynamic, cultural and energetic tour, guided by locals who know these neighborhoods like no one else.
