⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recently, I had the privilege of experiencing Madrid through the eyes of Auba, and I must say, it was nothing short of majestic. Auba’s approach to sharing the rich tapestry of Madrid’s history, culture, and landmarks is truly unparalleled. Her profound knowledge, coupled with her engaging storytelling skills, brings the city\'s tales to life, making each corner and cobblestone tell a story. The details she presents aren\'t just mere facts; they are anecdotes that resonate with both the heart and mind. If you’re looking for a guide who can offer a unique, insightful, and immersive tour of Madrid, Auba is undoubtedly the one to go with. A delightful experience I won\'t soon forget!

If you want to see some of the most elegant architecture that Madrid has to offer, then make sure you sign up for this incredible free tour. The Free Majestic Madrid Tour takes in some of the city’s most beloved landmarks built by the Bourbon Dynasty in the 18th and 19th centuries. Around iconic Puerta de Sol, guests will find the famous bear and the strawberry tree statue, which have come to be the symbol of Madrid. Along the tour, the group will pass by the world-famous Prado Museum, home to some of the world's greatest masterpieces, including the iconic “Las Meninas” by Diego Velazquez. As they stroll past, the group will discover more about the museum’s history.

Walking with your local guide along Paseo del Prado, guests will be amazed by the number of stunning landmarks on display. A stop at Cybele Palace and the breathtaking Cybele Fountain is an opportunity to discover the myth of the goddess Cybele and how she has come to be such an important symbol for the city. Along Paseo del Prado there’s another iconic landmark, the Fountain of Neptune. It’s also inspired by mythology and, along with the Cibeles Fountain, it was created as part of a project by King Charles III to modernize the city. Nowadays, the two fountains are known for their scenes of jubilant football celebration, with Atletico Madrid fans celebrating at Neptune and their rivals, Real Madrid, at Cybele.

Not far from Cybele Fountain there’s the House of America. This is one of the most important cultural institutions in Madrid. It is housed in the opulent Linares Palace and is also rumored to have its very own ghost! At the end of the road is one of the jewels of Madrid, Retiro Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This famous historical park is full of intrigues and fascinating stories, as well as being the perfect place to relax. Within the park, is the glorious Crystal Palace, constructed in 1887. It was used as part of an exhibition on the Philippines (then a Spanish Colony). All this and more will be covered during this incredible Majestic Madrid Free Tour.
