"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.
The so-called Golden Age, which covers part of the 16th and 17th centuries, was the era of greatest literary and artistic splendor in Spain... but also one of its most conflictive and declining political periods. Discover in our Free Tour of Cervantes and the Golden Age the Madrid neighborhood that starred like no other in the spirit of that time: the Barrio de las Letras.
Along this route, which will start in the Plaza Mayor, the great geniuses who illuminated that era will parade. Without a doubt, the immortal Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, author of the first universal modern novel, will occupy an essential role in our story... but so will other geniuses, more and less known, whose lives came to live up to their best works. .
Lives like that of Juan de Tarsis, Count of Villamediana, who we will talk about at the beginning of the visit.
In the Plaza de la Provincia we will talk about the old court prison and one of its most famous "tenants", the prolific writer Lope de Vega.
In the Plaza de Santa Ana we will find the statue of Calderón de la Barca and we will contemplate the façade of the famous Spanish Theater, which in its beginnings was a comedy corral.
The streets of León, Cervantes, Quevedo and Lope de Vega will complete an itinerary that will end in the Plaza de las Cortes, where the most famous statue of Cervantes is located.
Don't miss our Free Tour of Cervantes and the Golden Age, one of the best visits you will make in Madrid!
Our guides will be waiting for you in Plaza Mayor, next to the equestrian statue of Felipe III, with a blue Todo Tours umbrella.
