Wash Feet…“Take a stroll through Lavapiés (literally “Wash Feet”), the old Jewish quarter, dating from the 15th century. It’s a colourful working-class district with a thriving arts scene.” Enrique Novella, Product Manager Spain, Kirker Holidays Late night city…“Pace yourself!
There are endless things to see and do in Madrid during the day, whilst at night the city truly comes alive. Most restaurants don’t open until 21.00 – Madrid is truly a 24-hour city.” Enrique Novella, Product Manager Spain, Kirker Holidays
