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 did a fantastic job. We enjoyed the tour. She was communicative ahead of time and easy to work with. It was an extremely informative tour. She was very knowledgeable about the city.

We had scheduled a small group tour but at the last minute we decided we really wanted a private one-on-one experience to truly learn about Madrid. We are so glad we did and that Patricia was our guide. She had so much knowledge and was filled with fun facts that you only get with a true local. With a bubbly personality and lots of information, we learned so much. She also introduced us to the oldest cocktail bar in Madrid and the Lhardy (the first true restaurant in the world with menus, proper service, etc) and we were lucky enough to dine there the next evening. Her knowledge on the Spanish civil war was exceptional too. Definitely book this early on your trip while in Madrid. You will walk away with a list of places to come back to - ways to navigate the city and a better appreciation for beautiful city of Madrid.
