1-. Lavapies area

It is one of the most trendy areas in town at this moment.

Dozens of both illegal and legal graffiti walls decorate the roads and avenues of this popular, but at the same time gentrified neighborhood.

Our eclectic tours in Madrid will take you to a hidden urban garden called “Esta es una Plaza”, located in Calle Doctor Fourquet.

Among others, you will observe the arwork of a famous Belgian artist called Roa, or the Italian Blu.

Famous all around the world!

The hundreds of visitors who participate in our quirky walking visits every month think that the highlight of our activity is La Tabacalera, but these are other places that you should check:

• La Canica, an expropriated bank now used as a social center.
• Swinton & Grant, street art gallery.
• Mercado La Cebada, an old-fashioned food market.
• La Quimera, a squat building occupied by locals.

Another area that any traveller should check in our city is Universidad.

Popularly known as Malasaña, the area is a trendy & hipster neighborhood full of vintage clothing shops and chic restaurants mixed with local bars.

These are some of the areas which best represents the spirit and vibes of a multicultural part of Madrid.
