Step away from the main tourist draw of one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals, and visit one of the city’s modern neighbourhoods, Malasaña.
First, visit a Baroque wonder, which dates back to the 1620s: Iglesia San Antonio de los Alemanes. Full of hidden charm in its ellipsoidal, fresco-covered interior, which features elaborate works of art by Luca Giordano and Francisco Ricci. After visiting the church, enjoy a stroll through the delightful Malasaña neighbourhood, which has become Madrid’s bohemian heartland. The streets have an alternative vibe, decorated with street art and lined with vintage clothing shops, trendy cafés and hipster haunts. This student mecca is loved for its weekend market stalls and traditional tapas bars.
The tour finishes at the Romanticism Museum, housed in a former neo-classical palace. Here, your guide will take you to the museum’s most popular pieces by Goya, Federico de Madrazo, and Leonardo Alenza.
Stroll the streets of Malasaña, a unique neighbourhood which played an important role in the 1980s cultural and social movements that took place in Spain. Pass by the trendiest stores and also the historical shops honoured with commemorative plaques on the street. Stroll the streets of the unique Malasaña neighbourhood – a metropolis of culture, art, and food. Taste some of Madrid’s best jamón (ham) and see the experts carve the ham directly from the leg.
Visit the Iglesia San Antonio de Los Alemanes, and admire the Spanish stunning frescos - if open at the time of the tour.
