Overview

Welcome to the magical journey through time offered by the Literary Quarter Tour in Madrid! This enchanted corner of the Spanish capital is not just a place, it is a portal that transports us directly to the golden age of literature and history.

Imagine walking the same streets that once witnessed the inspiring muses of great literary geniuses. Yes, we are about to immerse ourselves in the very heart of a neighborhood that not only breathes history, but exudes it from every cobblestone!

Close your eyes for a moment and feel how time twists and folds, taking us by the hand back to the days when Cervantes wandered these narrow streets, and Quevedo left his poetic mark on every corner. The Barrio de las Letras is more than just a set of old buildings; It is a canvas on which the stories of the great writers who once called it home are painted.
