"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

Berlin has Kreuzberg, London has Soho... and Madrid has these two sister neighborhoods.

Discover in our Free Tour of Chueca and Malasaña the rich history of the most alternative neighborhoods of the capital, famous throughout Spain for their LGTBI culture and their role in the countercultural movements of the 80s that led to the so-called Movida Madrileña.

We will start in the Plaza de Chueca, the heart of the Spanish neighborhood most linked to the LGTBI community.

Our next stop will be the Madrid History Museum. We will admire its impressive baroque façade before heading towards Fuencarral street, one of the most dynamic streets in the city.

The walk will take us to the Plaza del Dos de Mayo, the vibrant epicenter of Malasaña. Very close to here are some historic bars that were crucial in the Movida Madrileña of the 80s.

After two hours of discoveries we will end the visit in the Plaza de Santa María de Soledad Torres y Acosta... although everyone knows it as Plaza de la Luna.

Don't miss the opportunity to explore the most alternative Madrid on our Free Tour of Chueca and Malasaña!
