Did you know that the streets of Madrid are also home to open-air museums? With this free urban art tour you will discover a different city, vibrant and full of hidden messages between colours and strokes.

You'll start the tour at Glorieta de Embajadores, just outside the metro station, in front of the Casa de Baños, where the huge murals of the Tabacalera mark the perfect start to this visual experience. From there, you'll enter the streets of Lavapiés, a neighbourhood known for its bohemian character, cultural diversity and commitment to urban art.

Throughout the tour, the guide will show you works by renowned artists such as TVBoy, Okuda or Suso33, whose pieces deal with everything from gentrification to inclusion or love. The narrative of the tour goes beyond aesthetics: it's about understanding the context, the stories behind the art and the message that each mural conveys.

The tour ends in Plaza de Antón Martín, where you will find "El Abrazo", a work full of history and symbolism that represents reconciliation after Franco's regime. This point marks an emotional closure to a route that weaves art with memory, street with culture.
