Itinerary
Our tour starts at the famous Puerta de Alcalá. In the old times, here started the road where Miguel de Cervantes, author of El Quijote and Spain's most important author, was born. This is just one of the anecdotes that you'll learn in this tour through the artistic jewels of Madrid.
The El Retiro Park was built in the early 1600s, and for centuries it was a private park that only Spanish monarchs were allowed to enter. However, Carlos III, one of the most loved and respected kings of Spain's history, made the park public and opened its doors to all the citizens.
The park has more than 350 acres and has more than 15.000 trees, so you will need a guide to discover all the treasures in it! We will take you to the big lake, the rose garden, the Crystal Palace, and the statue of the Fallen Angel - the only statue in the world that represents the devil!
Here you'll encounter the majestic Madrid City Hall, and also the soccer Mecca Cibeles fountain, where the fans of Real Madrid celebrate the victories of one of the best football clubs in the world.
The Paseo del Prado, known as Madrid's Art Walk, is an authentic itinerary through more than a thousand years of Spanish and European art: from Velázquez's Meninas to Picasso's Guernika, get ready to discover some of the world's most renowned pieces of art.
If you're an art-lover and you like museums, this is probably one of the reasons that brought you to Spain! The Prado Museum is the temple of Spanish art, and this is where its most important masterpieces are kept. Outside the museum, the statues of Velázquez, Goya and Murillo, two of the grandest artists of all time, watch the three museum's doors: don't miss a selfie with each of them!
Your guide will lead you through the rooms and corridors of the museum so you don't miss any of the masterpieces inside this colossal building.
