Deal overview
Benito Pérez Galdós and his 100% Madrid "Galdosiano" is a route that you cannot miss if you have read at least one of the novels of this genius of letters.
We will talk about the work of the Canarian writer, the streets that are the protagonists of his stories and where his characters are located, and although inevitably that essence is becoming more and more non-existent, a certain touch is perceived, in part thanks to the pleasant and historical touch that our expert in history and geography.
We will see how in his works fiction is mixed with reality, creating a literary universe, in which its protagonists lived, walked, loved, cried and intertwined, turning the works of Don Benito into one of the best testimonies to know the Madrid of the 19th century.
We will tell the stories of Fortunata, Jacinta, Benigna, the Moor Almudena, the usurer Torquemada, Rosalia Pipaón, Gabriel Araceli, Salvador Monsalud... and many more. We will talk about the National Episodes, Fortunata and Jacinta, Misericordia, the Fontana de Oro, Las de Bringas, Miau... and a few more.

The guided tour to, Benito Perez Galdos's Madrid was very interesting and enjoyable. Almudena took us through a lot of sites related to the work of Perez Galdos and told us a lot of anecdotes about the characters and how they relate to each other. I think a highly recommended guided tour. -

We seemed too focused on Fortunata and Jacinta, we miss more of the Madrid that appears in the rest of the work of Galdós.Company's response:
Good morning Cristina, first of all thank you for your opinion, however, this time, I do not agree. As you know the Galdosiano Madrid is very wide, encompassing, in addition to the Sun and surroundings other neighborhoods, such as those on the other side of the Manzanares, the Latina, Lavapies, Retiro, Cuatro Caminos, Malasaà ± a and even el Pardo, so in a two-hour route, we can not go through all the scenarios of all Galdós novels. As you will suppose, to make a coherent route on foot, of about two hours, you have to make a selection. I think part of Fortunata and Jacinta, we talk about Rosalia Pipaón, Gabriel Araceli, Salvador Monsalud, Benigno Cordero, the one of the Sad Design, Doña Benigna, Doña Paca, the Moor Almudena, the Cesante, Luisito, Las Miau, Torquemada, La Desheredada, Doctor Centeno, Lazaro and Clara, among many other Galdosian characters, and as you know, not all of Fortunta and Jacinta ... Still, we will take your opinion into account and incorporate new comics. Thanks again for your opinion a greeting Almudena -

I have really enjoyed the galdosiana route but it is that Almudena is ' all terrain ' And it explains to you adapting to your interests and curiosities.
I recommend a guided tour with her without a doubt.

We are delighted every time we make a guided tour with Algaraba (Almudena is charming and really knows a lot).
We have made several visits and will repeat. It is also a gift that you always enjoy.
