The Alcázar was destroyed in a fire on Christmas Eve 1734.Felipe V then decided to raise a new Royal Palace on this site, employing the best architect in Europe at the time, Filippo Juvarra. When Juvarra died in 1736, his pupil Giambattista Sacchetti made various changes to his grandiose project. The entire building is made of a series of domes built without a single piece of wood and it has multiple floors to accommodate all the administrative offices, Crown officials and servants.- Patrimonio Nacional, Gobierno de EspañaDuration: 5 minutesStop At: La Latina, Madrid SpainThe narrow and winding streets of this irregularly laid-out area, mostly dating back to the Middle Ages, usually lead onto a square. Most of them lay outside the Medieval walled village and provided accommodation to a great many merchants who sold their goods at the market. This commercial tradition still echoes in several street and square names, such as Plaza de la Cebada (Barley Square), where the farmers’ market used to be held, Plaza de los Carros (Carriage Square), Plaza de la Paja (Straw Square), or even El Rastro (owing its name to the blood trail of the old slaughterhouse), the city’s best-known flea market.- Official Tourism Website, MadridDuration: 5 minutesStop At: Barrio de Las Letras, Plaza de las Cortes, 28014 Madrid SpainIn the seventeenth century, the Golden Age of Spanish Literature, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, Tirso de Molina and Góngora, among other authors, had their homes here – hence the name.

These guys run a great bike tour - I learnt and saw more than I thought I would - I would go again tomorrow - a must do in Madrid - thanks Scott

Covered loads of ground here, the guide was very informative and pleasant. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a city cycle tour!

Highly recommend. Was misty rain they provided poncho. Tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. Very well worth the money. Nice well maintained bikes

We were the only ones who signed up so we got a private tour. The park was closed but we went on an alternate route that was very enjoyable along the river and through another park. Alex was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and kind. The coffee break was perfect since it was a bit chilly out. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic way to see beautiful Madrid! Relaxed, informative and appropriately paced. Our guide was fab and would highly recommend this tour
