Street art tour Lavapiés Itinerary

11:15 AM - Teatro Valle Inclán (Calle de Valencia, 1) - Metro Lavapiés
Meet your guide by the entrance of this quirky theatre. We will be waiting for you in a daily basis at 11.15AM next to Lavapies metro st. Our introduction will start at this point.
Explanation of the artworks created for CALLE Lavapiés festival.
The street art tour Lavapiés includes details about the national & international artists who participate at this community project. Would you like to learn about the techniques that they use while performing?
Visit the walls of Esta es una Plaza.
One of the most beautiful urban gardes in Madrid city is located in Calle Doctor Fourquet. It’s probably one of our guests’ favourite locations. Its’ walls were decorated by Zeta 1970: full of life, ideas and color.
Observe Muros Tabacalera, a former tobacco factory.
We consider the interior of this derelict building as the mecca for graffiti in Madrid. Hundreds of internationally known artists have decorated its’ walls. Ever heard of Okudart, ROA, Alice Pasquini or Add Fuel?
Listen to the history of the local graffiti movement
The alternative tour Madrid that we created in 2015 focuses its’ attention on social groups. Graffiti is one of them, and it’s everywhere. We’ll tell you the local panorama secrets.

Feminism to us means social equity between women and men. Pay attention to the details and the message that lies behind the work of a local artist who created a beautiful artwork for women.
1.15PM - Plaza Cascorro
Our street art tour Lavapiés has finished. We spent approximately two hours in a unique walking activity. It’s now time to some drinks & food. Follow us to La Cebada Market, the opposite idea of Mercado San Miguel.

🚶‍♀️🎨 A Must-Do for Street Art Lovers in Madrid! We run Mural Ride Bike Tours in San Antonio, Texas, so believe us when we say—we live and breathe street art. This walking tour through Lavapiés and the surrounding neighborhoods was 🔥. The guide broke down the history of Madrid’s mural scene, gave us the inside scoop on local street art festivals, and even schooled us on the real difference between graffiti and street art (it’s more than just vibes and spray cans). You could feel the passion radiating from our guide—someone who’s clearly rooted in the culture and not just reciting from a script. The art? Stunning. The stories behind it? Even better. 💡 Pro tip: Bring water. We went in July and by noon it was already 32°C (aka “very toasty”). That said, the walking was totally manageable. We’re already plotting a return to see more neighborhoods. And yes—we’ll be sending our San Antonio guests this way when they land in Madrid. Can’t recommend it enough! 🖌️💥 #StreetArtMadrid #SupportLocalTours #MuralRideApproved

Fab Malasaña tour with guide Yago, discovering various pieces of street art and their meaning. This was followed by a workshop with Aida, where we learned about spray painting and made our own ‘art work’. Highly recommended.

Hola Anja. On behalf of Yago and Aida, thanks for your review. We look forward to hosting your group next time you visit Madrid, or Barcelona. Best regards, Javier.

Encantados con Yago. Nos guió a mi y a mí hija de 13 años por la historia y los mensajes ocultos del arte urbano de Madrid. Llevándote a la reflexión a base de preguntas, hemos ido descubriendo un arte al que antes no prestábamos atención. Yago es súper amable, se nota que es un apasionado del tema, y conoce personalmente a los artistas para darte la mejor información. Muy, muy recomendable!!!!

Owner's reply
Buenos días, Fernando. ¿Cómo estás? Muchas gracias por escribir tu opinión publicamente. Yago, y el resto del equipo, estamos encantados de dirigir visitas guiadas como la que hicimos el otro día con vosotros. Somos unos apasionados del arte urbano, y de enseñar Madrid de un modo alternativo. Si a tu hija le gusta el graffiti, os esperamos en nuestros talleres para niñas y adolescentes. Un saludo,

Santi fue genial. Desde el primer momento mostró una energía súper cercana y auténtica, lo que hizo que nos sintiéramos cómodos enseguida. La manera en que cuenta las historias: mezcla datos curiosos, anécdotas divertidas y ese toque personal que hace que todo cobre vida. Santi muestra la ciudad desde su lado más cultural y multicultural, guiándonos a través de grafitis, pegatinas y stickers que cuentan historias, luchas y colores del barrio. 😊👌

Pasamos 2 horas estimulantes con Yago que tiene un conocimiento muy amplio del mundo del arte urbano de Lavapiés. Lo que vimos fue muy variado y provocador. Sin embargo, lo más impresionante del tour fue su estilo de comunicación muy interactivo que nos hizo pensar profundamente, no solo sobre las técnicas de los artistas que vimos sino también sobre sus mensajes y objetivos. El hecho de que disfrutamos tanto este tour a pesar de la lluvia torrencial que nos empapó totalmente habla de la calidad de la información y el arte, además de la capacidad de Yago de entretenernos por 2 horas. Recomendaría este tour a cualquier persona con curiosidad e interés en el arte en general. Muchas gracias Yago!

Owner's reply
Hola, Anabella. Que nos hayas dejado esta reseña, nos complace enormemente. Cuando hay lluvia, no podemos hacer otra cosa que dar todo lo mejor de nosotros, para entretener a quien se queda a escuchar nuestras historias sobre arte urbano, y graffiti. Esperamos verte nuevamente en una de nuestras visitas guiadas alternativas por Madrid. Un saludo,

A pesar del mal tiempo que hizo, Santi nos alegró el tour y lo pasamos genial. Somos de Madrid y, aunque hemos pasado mil veces por Lavapies, siempre aprendes cosas nuevas. Gracias Santi por enseñarnos otra cara de Madrid, espectacular e interesante. Seguro que repetimos, esta vez en Malasaña.
