Unique things to do in Madrid

Book unforgettable activities hosted by locals on Airbnb.

Travel like a local

Madrid is a welcoming city that feels more as if you’re traveling from village to village than across a busy metropolis. It’s a place where you drink the vermouth, typically served with a splash of sparkling water and an orange wedge, and get lost in conversation with locals. Enjoy the tapas, see the art, and take it all in: there are just 5 subway stops in the entire city. Go beyond traditional tours and activities for a local’s perspective of Madrid with Airbnb Experiences.

Before starting the tour inside the Museum, I will give you a short briefing of what we will discover together. I will show you the masterpieces that everyone should see when visiting the Prado Museum, but my main focus is to connect the history & development of Spain with the art collection. Discovering the historical periods of my country inside each painting, understanding the meaning and the importance of the topic in history: From the Flemish painters that inspired the Hamburg family to spread their empire to the life in Madrid during the XVIII century admiring Goya’s paintings. The Museum collection includes Love, Mythology and mysterious legends that would be fun to share with you. After the visit, you can stay in the Museum as long as you wish!

Leathercraft Workshop in a Traditional Madrilean Neigbourhood
This experience is for those who wish to discover an authentic Spanish Leathercraft Workshop and learn how to make their own Leather items. I will show the participants the use of the tools used for Leathercraft, many of which havent changed since medievil times. I will also introduce them to the variety of different kinds of leather that exist. Each participant will have the opportunity to use real Spanish Cowhide to create a Leather item with their own hands. In the workshop the participants can choose between a pretty travelling purse (with or without a strap), an original belt, a wallet, two different purses or braided bracelets. There is also the opcion of making a piece different from these which will be designed in the act...maybe something one always wanted to make....a handbag, a mobile phone case, a belt pouch ....if this is the case the teacher should be informed beforehand. Each piece will be unique as we will use technique such as stamping or embossing to decorate it. These techniques were introduced by the Moors hundreds of years ago and have a long tradition in Spanish Leathercraft. There will not be many of us in the worshop so we have the chance to get to know eachother without hurry. For those who dont speak Spanish I speak perfect English as I am originally from Ireland. Other things to note We will be using cutter knifes at one stage of the experience although for those who prefer the Handcraftsman will do the cutting.

This is the city that governed more than half of America and large areas of the world, produced some of the best artists and writers of all time but also struggled with crime, a Napoleon invasion and a Civil War.

Your guide to Madrid

What do locals do in Madrid?

The true joy here is in the day-to-day, where you can stop and chat with neighbors on your way back from the market, or linger over tapas or dinner. The art scene is big here, and comes in many shapes and forms, from a morning spent in Museo del Prado to a poetry reading at a cafe in the evening. Barrio de las Letras, or the Literary Quarter, near the historic center, is abuzz with activity most of the day, where you can enjoy terrace bars and walkable alleyways. It’s also where many locals go out at night.
