Sites

Sant Jeroni Square

Sant Jeroni square, on the limit of the call, was chosen for the construction here – financed by the Jewish collective – of the Santa Fe (Holy Faith) church. Leaving the square, Calders street again meets Montserrat street which gives out onto Porta del Mar street, in the heart of the tanners´ district. Where it crosses with Calatrava street recalls another of the orders connected with Palma which arises where, at one time, the gate of the same name was situated.
Sites

El Fontan Market

Traveling through time from the years of the Inquisition and the persecution of Jew, coinciding with the foundation of the university of Oviedo, the route to Fontán street - where the current La Casina synagogue is located – starts on Ramón y Cajal street whose initial stretch as far as Riego square coincides with the layout of the former medieval defensive wall. Still outside the walls, and after leaving behind us in the square the beautiful Bernaldo Quirós palace, Los Pozos street intertwines with Rosal street which opens out on the left into Fontán street. The Zapatos arch symbolically marks the entrance to Fontán street and square, the closed market and street market which is open every day; a space for popular architecture and for the merry cider bars that splash the ground with fermented apple juice... The stone columns mark the modern character of this everlasting market where the sculptoric reference of the traditional pottery dish sellers is not lacking. Vamos al Fontán (Let´s go to Fontán) is the phrase which defines the fondness of the Oviedo residents for this space awash with colour where number 11 of this street houses the contemporary synagogue.
Sites

Arab Baths of Girona

The Paseo de la Reina Juana connects to Fernando el Católico street where there are excellent baths, popularly known since the 19th century as the Arab baths whose sumptuous apodyterium or changing room is presided over by a large Star of David. They are dated 1194, and after being closed in the 15th century, they were occupied in 1617 by a community of Capuchin nuns. In 1929, they started being managed publicly. These excellent baths are also endowed with a frigidarium (cold room), tepidarium (warm room), caldarium (hot room) and an oven.

Falafeleria

Falafeleria has one main purpose: to serve a warm pita bread bursting with flavors and stuffed with the freshest vegetarian falafel, veggies, and hummus. Every pita is made special, and you get to choose from a variety of toppings to make your falafel unique. Choose from their fresh hummus, Sjug, Amba, tahini, vegetables, and herbs, most of which are prepared in-house. Their hummus, on the other hand, comes from their sister restaurant, La Hummuseria. Like their sister restaurant, Falafeleria uses only real ingredients, never adding preservatives or additives, inspired by the middle east for their strong, high-quality flavors.

Guides

Esther Almena

Esther is a licensed Madrid tour guide who has a strong passion for the city she was born in. She became a tour guide just a few years ago because she decided it was important to show visitors the natural way of Madrid and not just the top attractions and highlights. Esther's goal is to make tourists feel like locals for the day and take them to some of the places less traveled. Don't worry, you can still get insight into the city's famous attractions, but Esther adds a personal touch that you won't get traveling in a large group or on your own. Esther attended a historically significant high school in Spain, which was founded in 1346. It was here when her passion for Madrid began as she began to discover the art and history around the school. While she tried living in other cities, she was always pulled back to Madrid. There is something about the Debod Temple sunsets, enjoying tapas with friends, local summer festivals, hiking the beautiful mountains, rooftop cocktails, and chocolate con churros that she couldn't find anywhere else. On a tour with Esther, you will explore the city like a local and get to experience what it's like to live in this incredible city.

Ramon

Ramón was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but because his family is Spanish they decided to move to Madrid ten years ago. As a child, Ramon had a passion for art and he enjoyed painting and drawing, which led him to his degree in Fine Arts. He enjoys roaming around the city with a sketchbook, drawing out the city's top stops and getting to know the city. While exploring the city through art, Ramon became interested in Madrid's history and discovered that he was constantly surrounded by history everywhere he went.  Ramon is definitely a people-person and he enjoys sharing his knowledge about the city with the visitors who want to learn about it.
