Highlights

Join us on a captivating walking tour through Madrid’s iconic El Retiro Park, a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. Stroll among more than 19,000 trees across 167 species, explore beautifully designed gardens, shimmering lakes, and impressive monuments that make this park one of Madrid’s top attractions. Your expert local guide will take you to the park’s must-see highlights—including the Crystal Palace and the Philip IV Gate—while also revealing hidden corners and fascinating stories rarely found in guidebooks. It’s the perfect blend of nature, culture, and history. After your guided tour, continue your Madrid experience with a traditional tapas tasting at the iconic Casa Ciasco, located at Calle Mayor 84. Please note that the guide does not accompany you to the bar—you will make your own way there at your convenience. Taste typical Spanish cuisine: ham, pork loin, salchichón sausage, chorizo sausage, and Manchego cheese, with a drink, bread, and olive oil.
