Free Tour Barrio de las Letras of Madrid
♡ Save
Welcome to the Golden Age of Madrid's literary greats - discover the secrets of this fascinating district that inspired our literary sons & daughters.
On this tour, we will embark on a journey back in time to this time by visiting the places where these illustrious people lived, their friendships, their confrontations, and love affairs, and we will discover that we have not changed that much either.
There will also be room for contemporaneity, since there have been great writers of later times.
If you did not like literature at school, do not worry! It is not about a kind of literature, but about soaking up how this world was that put the Spanish language on the podium of letters.
Whether you are from Madrid or not, this neighborhood is a mandatory stop that, surely, will not leave you indifferent.
Please leave your phone number, so we can confirm your attendance. Since in case when your reservation is the only reservation of the day and the reservation is not confirmed, it can be cancelled.
