Madrid Trip Overview
This Experience is provided by a private local.
Ernest Hemingway was very much in love with Madrid and returned there many times in the 1920s, 1930s, and up to his final visit in 1960s, in order to eat, drink, and enjoy the Spanish culture. Hemingway found Madrid so inspirational that he even set several short stories and novels there, and he called Madrid the most Spanish of all cities. This is your chance to find out why!
From locations associated with the Civil War to his favourite eating and drinking places, let us discover the charm of Madrid through the eyes of Hemingway! And if the time of the day is right, you can even stop for a drink in some of his favourite bars as we stroll through the centre of Madrid and I tell you more insider stories of the great American writer’s affair with Madrid 🙂
