Not all cats live in Madrid, and not all cats in Madrid are cats. Some had to go out and carry the city inside. Others, we stay, we continue discovering it; discovering more of its secrets, more of its corners, more of its people. Some of us walk through unknown streets to know a little more about the city where we were born and the one that saw us grow up. To us, to our parents, to our grandparents ... Do you know why they call us cats? Do you know when you are a real cat? Let me take you through my favorite corners, tell you what no one knows, discover this chaotic city and give you space in places to breathe. Let me take you to taverns with history, to walls that have seen war, let me show you who walked our avenues. Because history is not always what we were taught in school. Because history often gets out of the books and comes to life in buildings, in statues, in images. Because History is not just data, names and dates. Because history can be savored, it can be laughed at, it can be told in a way that is contagious. Because no one can speak better of something than someone who is in love with it. And I love Madrid as much as I love History and its traditions. A lot of people have passed through Madrid, are you going to leave Madrid without her having passed by you?

Tour description

Legends of the city, curiosities that will not leave you indifferent, and unknown characters that will leave you speechless.

Many times we pass by places as if we were suitcases, unaware of anything and we don't look up, we don't look at the person next to us.
Have you noticed those streets that seem flat but aren't really?
Have you noticed the epic stories our streets tell? Other times we can't look under our feet, but if we could, we'd see that skyscrapers of the capital fit inside another building.
And if we entered a restaurant, we would see the walls of this city. If we looked closely, we could also see that not only royalty has lived in the Royal Palace, and it is possible that the expression “shine by its absence” was born very close to the Plaza de Oriente.

Shall we look together at the SECRETS that Madrid holds?
