Architour through Lavapiés and Rastro with an architect

We propose you to learn more about the Lavapiés district from the urban, historical and architectural point of view. We recommend that you save some time before the aperitif by the Rastro to walk together and learn about the history of theaters, cinemas, cafés, museums or their corralas, typical buildings of houses in the authentic heart of Madrid that Traveler has declared as the coolest neighborhood of the world. Small hidden gems like the municipal printing house, rationalist industrial building of 1930 or the last in the area to have a drink like Sala Equís, the last X cinema in Madrid. From here to Cascorro and the history of how the Rastro began, combining the most authentic with the latest in vintage furniture. From there we will go to the Tabacalera where you can see the best of urban art on its facades, passing by Doctor Fourquet with its art galleries until the expansion of the Reina Sofía Museum, ending at the San Fernando Market where you can have an aperitif with a vermouth and some tapas

We will make an introduction with the history of the neighborhood and Madrid.

We visit this street market if you do the tour on Sunday and your vintage furniture stores open the rest of the week.

We will stop to see the facade of this theater with its art-deco clock and if you want, we will have a coffee in your cafe in the middle of our architour.

Hidden jewel of the rationalist architecture of Madrid in 1930

The square that gives its name to the neighborhood is the center of the neighborhood where you will see the mix of people of different races and cultures coexist in this neighborhood with neighbors of all life and new neighbors who are changing the neighborhood for a few years.

We will visit the extension of this museum designed by Jean Nouvel, we will stop at its restaurant, the library and the covered patio and we will tell you about the different proposals of the contest held in 1999.

Neighborhood market where we will take some tapas and drink something while I give you suggestions for your stay in Madrid and discuss what we have seen. (the drinks are not included)

We will visit this abandoned industrial building that now houses exhibitions and an area self-managed by the neighbors. On its walls we will see some of the works of the best urban artists. Closed for works from July 25
