What to expect
You'll meet your guide in one of Madrid's two signature bohemian neighbourhoods and begin walking through streets lined with distinctive graffiti and street art. As you move between spots, you'll hear stories about La Movida Madrileña and how this underground movement liberated the city and defined its identity.
