Hi! I’m Patricia, a local host here in Madrid. There’s always something new to discover, whether it’s a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet corner or a lively spot buzzing with energy. Madrid truly has it all, and I’m excited to share its magic with you. I love exploring the city’s diverse neighborhoods like Malasaña, Chueca, Lavapiés, La Latina, and Palacio. Each has its own unique charm, from trendy cafes and boutique shops to historic streets steeped in stories. One of my favorite pastimes is uncovering hidden places and trying out new restaurants. As someone who knows Madrid’s history inside and out, I love weaving the city’s fascinating past into the present-day experiences. Whether you’re here for the history, the food, or simply the incredible atmosphere, I’m here to make your visit unforgettable. Let’s explore this amazing city together!

The Walking Madrid tour with Patricia as our guide was a wonderful experience. She showed us the most important landmarks of imperial Madrid and added valuable information both historical and current.

Thanks Patricia for such a fun and memorable tour of Madrid - you've expanded the charm and beauty of Madrid! We had a great day full of laughter and inpiring stories of what makes Madrid the ciry that it is today. You're very knowledgeable and informative about the history and made us love the story of Madrid as a city. We explored various plazas (each with its own charm), wondered at the Royal Palace and Cathedral, heard the history of shops that have been around for centuries, seen the significance of buildings throughout the city, and got good recommendations for good food and experiences to explore further. Thanks for a great day! Would highly recommend for a day filled with happy memories and knowledge about what makes Madrid beautiful as it is.

An excellent tour shared blending history of past and present. We greatly appreciated the enthusiasm and knowledge Patricia has and enjoyed the tour. We could never have seen as much of the Madrid areas by ourselves . Thank you!
