Very good tour learning about the melting pots of culture in this Madrid community. Added bonus having Jaime meet me at my hotel.

An exciting way to experience one of Madrid’s more curious areas

Alexander_B, Jun 2024

Went on this tour because my dad was interested in the history of this neighborhood and so glad that I went along with it! Our guide, Jaime, was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable that it came as a surprise when the tour ended and I processed just how much we heard and saw. There was no question that Jaime was unable to answer, and the level of detail provided made follow ups unnecessary. Just truly delightful from start to finish, and a great way to become acquainted with something off the beaten path in Madrid.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you very much Alex! It was a real pleasure to meet you! I am glad that you liked the Lavapiés tour, it is really a fascinating area. Best regards for you and your father! Jaime

Jaime was a wonderful guide - always patient and understanding, but oh so knowledgeable

We were amazed and happy to see the redevelopment going on in this special district. It still retains its special flavor , however , if narrow streets and quaint stores.
