What you can expect

Dive into the underground art scene in Madrid on this guided tour through the city's most eclectic districts. With a local guide leading the way, uncover avant garde murals, modern sculptures, and multicultural street art while learning about the city's influential artists, both past and present.

Meet your guide by the entrance of Teatro Valle Inclan (Calle de Valencia, 1). Start your walk with a brief explanation of the history, techniques and the biography of the artists who belong to this underground movement.

From here, you head toward La Tabacalera, an artistic center located in the Lavapies district. Listen as your guide explains how the Indian, Moroccan, and Senegalese communities have turned the area into a vibrant neighborhood full of diverse eateries and eye-catching street art.

As you travel towards Calle Embajadores, you will observe as the public space turns into a colorful open air museum. Hear the story of Muelle, considered the pioneer of graffiti in Spain, as well as Pastron #7, a master in train-writing who's spent significant time running from the police. Take a stroll through the square to get a closer look at the area's incredible artwork before saying goodbye to your guide.
