Hi! I’m Patricia, a local host here in Madrid. There’s always something new to discover, whether it’s a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet corner or a lively spot buzzing with energy. Madrid truly has it all, and I’m excited to share its magic with you. I love exploring the city’s diverse neighborhoods like Malasaña, Chueca, Lavapiés, La Latina, and Palacio. Each has its own unique charm, from trendy cafes and boutique shops to historic streets steeped in stories. One of my favorite pastimes is uncovering hidden places and trying out new restaurants. As someone who knows Madrid’s history inside and out, I love weaving the city’s fascinating past into the present-day experiences. Whether you’re here for the history, the food, or simply the incredible atmosphere, I’m here to make your visit unforgettable. Let’s explore this amazing city together!

Patricia was so great at orienting us to the city! Every food recommendation she made was incredible, and it was the best food we had across 5 cities. So informative, saw so many cool places, and felt secure navigating Madrid after that first day!

Patricia Patricia is a fabulous guide. She made a point of getting in touch with us ahead of time and making it easier for us to connect. She actually came to our hotel to pick us up. She was enthusiastic and cheerful and informative and full of life. We adored her and learned so much and talked about so many different topics. And we not only learned history about Spain, but we shared cultures which is why we love to travel. She also showed us good places to eat or places to avoid. We ended up eating at two of her recommendations and they were outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for more in a guide. We would love for her to come visit us. That’s how much we liked herAnd by the way for English speakers, she is an English teacher, and she speaks beautifully.
