What to expect
Madrid's 'must-see' attractions
You will see all the classic sights of Madrid: the central squares of Mayor and Sol, the Royal Palace, Atocha railway station, the neo-Moorish bullfighting arena Las Ventas, and the famous Prado, Queen Sofia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums. I will tell you about the events that took place in the Spanish capital over the centuries, during which dynasty's rule the city reached its peak, and how Madrid is similar to and different from other cities in Old Castile.
Madrid from the inside
Driving along the central streets of Gran Via, Mayor, Alcala, and Serrano, you will feel the rhythm of Madrid and observe its residents. I will talk about the specific mentality of madrileños and share the peculiarities of their daily life: where they like to go, what they value in people, how they spend their free time, where they work, and what they spend money on. I will also show you the local Triumphal Arch, Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and the resting places of Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Francisco Goya, and Velázquez.
