Pepe Alonso's tour of Madrid was a fascinating journey through the city's literary and historical landmarks. His knowledge of the 'literary neighborhood', including the life of Hemingway and Cervantes' House, was captivating. The tour also covered intriguing aspects of the city center, from the tales of Plaza Mayor to the Royal Palace. Pepe's engaging storytelling brought to life the city's past, from the Spanish Civil War to the Jewish & Moorish Ruins, making for an unforgettable exploration of Madrid.
