Hello!!

My name is Alba and I'm a passionate traveler. I dedicate my free time, money and energy to travel as much as possible, and in many occasions it has happened to me that when I arrive to a new site I would have loved to meet some local. It's always very nice to receive advice, that someone take you to not so turistic places and tell you in first person how they live there. That's why I decided to become a local host! So I can help travelers eager to know a little more how we live in my city, Madrid. Every time I have returned from one of my trips I have been able to appreciate with more affection the magic of my city and the amount of things that can be done in it. For me, a perfect day in this city would consist of a visit to the Rastro, a street market that rides on Sundays in the district of Lavapiés. After, have tapas for lunch at a nearby bar, go to relax at El Retiro Park, look at shops in the area of ​​Gran Vía and Fuencarral and finally go to see the sunset at Debob Temple, a real Egyptian temple. I will be delighted to guide you through this city, in which you can make as many plans as visitors we receive every day. See you!
