Barrio de las Letras Madrid: Guided Walking Tour
About this experience
Explore the Barrio de las Letras, a historic neighborhood in central Madrid named after Spanish writers from the Golden Age, such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Quevedo, and Góngora.
Walk with an official guide and learn about the literary rivalries between these authors, including Cervantes and Lope de Vega, and Góngora and Quevedo. Stroll along Calle de Huertas and see literary quotes engraved on the pavement.
Visit the 17th-century home of Lope de Vega, now a museum, and see the house where Cervantes lived. Stop by the Convent of the Trinitarians, where he asked to be buried.
Along the way, hear local stories and learn more about the neighborhood’s history.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
