"Choose a job that you like and you will not have to work a day of your life" Confucius. Madrilenian by birth and traveler by vocation. My passion is traveling and this has also led me to live in Munich for a few years, which has allowed me to grow in many ways. It was in this city, where by chance I started working as a tour guide, a profession that allows me to combine two fields that I am passionate about, tourism and communication. I have always been linked to the world of tourism, which has allowed me to accumulate experience in different sectors and jobs. Ambitious in character, always looking for new projects to go a little further and constantly reinvent myself. This led me in 2019 to create my own tour company in Madrid and Munich called Todo Tours. With my feet on the ground and my eyes on a plane on my way to a new destination, I am always ready to undertake a new project, discover something new and learn as much as possible.

Tour description

Do you want to discover a side of Madrid that few have seen? Come walk with us through Lavapiés! This tour focuses on urban art in one of the most authentic neighborhoods of Madrid.

You will discover the meaning of the murals and who the artists behind them are. In addition, we will take advantage of being in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city to learn about the history of Lavapiés and its neighbors.

Get to know this multicultural neighborhood in the heart of the capital with Siete Estrellas, delving into its streets and its urban art, which is still a hidden treasure. We will meet at the Reina Sofía Art Center to begin the tour. We will end at the San Fernando Market, the ideal place to have an afternoon vermouth.

Don't miss it!
