About Tour Guide Drica P.
I’m a Brazilian-Spanish storyteller who has called Madrid home for over 20 years and I’m still captivated by its streets, flavors, and hidden corners.
My tours are not just walks, but immersive experiences where history, art, food, and everyday life come together. The goal is simple: not just to show you Madrid, but to help you feel it.
I draw inspiration from Goya at the Prado and Picasso at Reina Sofía, from flamenco rhythms to Almodóvar films, and from the simple joy of sharing tapas and vermouth in traditional taverns.
I believe the best way to understand Madrid is through its culture and its people. That’s why every tour is built around storytelling, emotion, and connection.
If you’re looking to discover a more authentic, human, and unforgettable Madrid, I’d love to share it with you.
