Discover Newtown through a free walk with a Local

Newtown is an ancient city founded by the Muslim emir of Córdoba in the 9th century; Philip II made it the capital  in the 16th century. Visiting Madrid with the Greeters, you can explore the neighbourhoods from the Habsburg dynasty, those from the Bourbon dynasty, or the popular Newtown that never sleeps, full of cultural activities and shops.

The urban park, covering more than 100 hectares, the Plaza Grande, dating from 1790, the Royal Palace, built by the first Bourbon king, the gardens and streets built and lived in over a thousand years. They are all waiting for your visit.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .

Who are the Greeters?

Our Greeter in Newtown was very patient despite our tardiness, her welcome was wonderful, the tour excellent and you can clearly sense that she cares about showcasing every facet of her town.

Thank you, Newtown Greeters, it is so great to be welcomed like friends, to see a place with the eyes of a local, have a chat in a tiny café and - eventually - leave as a friend.
