Experience an unforgettable day in Madrid with this excursion from Barcelona aboard the high-speed train.

After arriving at Atocha station, we will start a circular route through Madrid moving by metro as locals. We will visit the imposing Royal Palace, former residence of the kings, and the Almudena Cathedral, completed in 1993. We will tour the Madrid de los Austrias, with the Plaza de la Villa and the Casa de Cisneros, before lunch at the Mercado de San Miguel, perfect for tasting tapas and Spanish cuisine. We will continue on foot to Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, the epicenter of the city. Then we will visit the Puerta de Alcalá, a neoclassical monument that predates the Arc de Triomphe, and continue along Gran Via, surrounded by emblematic architecture such as the Telefónica Building. We will culminate in the Plaza de Cibeles, in front of the majestic Palacio de Comunicaciones, symbol of modern and monumental Madrid.

Then, we will travel again by metro to Atocha station to take the high-speed train back to Barcelona, closing a full day of history, art and Madrid life.
