Lavapiés is not a neighbourhood of monuments: it's best told on foot.

How to book this tour
There are two ways and you can use whichever you prefer:
Join an already scheduled departure
Fixed date and time. Confirmed: your spot is guaranteed. In formation: you sign up and only pay when it goes ahead. Either way, the amount is held and charged 24 h before departure. If you book more than a month ahead, it's charged at booking.
Form a group with your preferences

Scheduled departures
Seasonal note. In August, the San Lorenzo fiestas fill the neighbourhood. On Sundays, the Rastro takes over the streets next door and the market lies right on its route.
