Fabulous Madridmtprtravel
Wear some good walking shoes for this walking loop of Madrid. The best way to determine how you will spend the remainder of your time in a city is to start with an overview of the city’s history and locations of important historical and cultural sites. Our guide Aurora gave us a wonderful history lesson as she escorted us around the city. She started with the first main square that was built when the Spanish King left Toledo to make Madrid the capital of Spain.
An incredible, thorough, educational, experience. The guide was a very pleasent, well informed source.
