Madrid Histórico con un arquitecto: árabes, Austrias y Borbones
Descripción
Te proponemos conocer algo más sobre los orígenes de la ciudad desde el punto de vista urbano, histórico y arquitectónico, desde que los árabes la fundaran a finales del siglo IX, pasando por su reconquista en el siglo XI o el momento en que Felipe II decidió fijar la capital en Madrid. Comenzaremos frente al Palacio Real, repasando su historia desde que los árabes construyeron el Alcázar hasta el momento en que Felipe V ordenó construir el Palacio Real como lo conocemos hoy. A partir de ahí, repasaremos la historia de la Catedral, veremos los restos de la Muralla árabe y continuaremos nuestro paseo por La Latina, caminando por sinuosas calles, llegando a la Plaza de la Paja, donde encontraremos el Palacio de los Vargas y la Iglesia de San Andrés, cerca del Museo de San Isidro. Continuaremos nuestro recorrido descubriendo los restos de la Muralla cristiana del siglo XII. Cruzaremos la Cava Baja hasta llegar al Mercado de San Miguel, la Plaza de la Villa, acabando en la Plaza Mayor.

Fantastic rich history shown through architecture in a beautiful city. Emilio was knowledgeable and engaged.
We learned a lot about Madrid history but thought that there would be more emphasis on the architecture since it was titled that way.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, although I am a little surprised because it is the first time in seven years that we have received such a comment. On the one hand, you decided to leave the tour with two and a half hours still to go, claiming it was cold, even though I offered to go somewhere heated for a hot coffee, and you made no mention about the emphasis on history or what were your interests. On the other hand, in a tour about historical architecture and the origins of the city, we always explain the historical, political, and sociological context of each building, without which it is impossible to understand the stylistic changes and urban development of Madrid over 12 centuries of history.
Emilio is a real local expert who gave us the chance to come to know the old parts of town. So many details going far beyond only the sights along the way helped us understanding the history of town much better. Despite the spectacular sights we got so many insights into the history of town and country. Emilio guided us knowlegable and in a very friendly manner and our kids recognized so many of his hints during the week after that you can see how nachhaltig his tour has been. We strongly suggest to book is second tour about Gran via in combination. Could not have been better, a real gem and an absolute recommendation! Thank you so much
Our guide was excellent. He has an amazing knowledge of Madrid’s history and architecture. We gained so much from this private tour!
Emilio is extremely knowledgeable. We would never see this much on our own. This tour helps to connect modern city to its history. Highly recommended.
Our tour with Emilio was even better than we had hoped, and we have high standards. Emilio’s knowledge of history (which is what we were most interested in) was extremely thorough and he wove together the clear connections between the history of the city and the architecture around us. Some tour guides deliver facts in a way that can be hard to follow, but Emilio’s sequencing of events flowed seamlessly and coherently. Very highly recommended.
If you love an interesting walk through a historic part of Madrid with a knowledgeable guide, then this tour is for you. The guide, who is an architect, gave us snippets of history that put the buildings we viewed into context. He was solicitous and kind - and we enjoyed pausing to have coffee and converse midway through the 3 hour + tour.
Emilio’s architecture was the perfect way to get an understanding of Madrid’s history and what makes it special today. Highly recommend!
There is no tour of Madrid that can compare with the experience and knowledge that Emilio offers at Architours. History, urban planning, architecture, sociology, customs... Very complete and enjoyable. Without a doubt, the best option for our company, where members from all over Spain were present who fell in love with Madrid.
Excellent guide. Very complete explanations. You learn about the history of Madrid and the history of Spain. Highly recommended
