Cooltourspain is such a singular project. We try to differentiate our unusual tours from the rest of touristic companies not only because of our field of action, but also by the way our guides lead the experiences.
What would you say is the difference between a tourist and a traveller? Can you tell us the relationship or difference that exists between street art and graffiti?
You should know that our experts are passionate for graffiti. We do paint and we will give you insider information of an underground culture that many wonder about their insights.
How to recognize unusual tours in Madrid?
Please take into account that we hate those guides who only offer information about dates and events. We participated in many history tours all around the globe and they are boring.
Furthermore, you will never remember those dates. On the other hand, our local guides will engage you with questions where you’ll be required to think. The perfect way to wake you up!
Please receive a warm welcome from our urban art’s team. We are ready to show you our city as you have never explored it before.

Who are the guides for these unusual tours in Madrid?
The cultural, educational and social project created in 2015 is formed by several local experts.
Javier Garcia is Cooltourspain’s founder and CEO. He loves travelling all around the world. His passion for the discovery of new cultures took him to places such as Berlin, New York or London.
It was in these major capital cities where Garcia observed there was a trend among travellers to venture like a local through street art and graffiti. He then took the idea and created these unusual tours in Madrid. Javier leads the tours with passion for both urban art and his guests.
