1. 1

   Austrias

   2 hours

   It is a very beautiful route in which you will see many places and monuments scattered along a route through the old heart of Madrid or “Magerit”. It is a city with 1200 years of history that began in a small Arab fortress and has ended up being one of the most metropolitan cities in the world, with approximately 3 million inhabitants. How has it evolved so much? Find out with Rubens. Although it is a route based on the Madrid of the Austrians, you will see places from the early days of Madrid, when it was a small town, and you will also see buildings after the Austrian monarchy such as the Teatro Real. We will talk about kings, food, customs, legends... With a special touch of humor from Reuben. At the end of the tour, you will have known several secrets that none of the Madrid people know. Are you ready? Among the places to visit are: Plaza de Oriente - Royal Palace - Cathedral - Plaza de la Villa - Plaza Mayor - Puerta del Sol

2. 2

   Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)

   1 hour

   It is a neighborhood based on the history of the Golden Age in Madrid, the route adapts to the latticework of streets of the Huertas area that was the old neighborhood and liar of many playwrights. It brings together interesting streets and different authors who marked the life of Don Lope in very funny anecdotes to hear. Along the tour you will see places like the Church of San Sebastian (which was the burial place of Lope), house of Lope de Vega (if you allow the schedule), and much more!

3. 3

   Parque del Retiro

   1 hour

   This is a tour that shows the history of El Retiro; it began as a palace for the court of Philip IV until it became a public park in the 20th century. It is the lung of the city, our "central park", full of history, curiosities, anecdotes, legends, inescapable buildings and the magic surrounding the park that can be felt on this visit. It is true that people only know the pond and the boats, but there are actually many secrets that the park keeps and, if you want, you can see them with me.
