Join a local Spanish artist to discover some of the coolest hidden contemporary art galleries in one of Madrid’s most artistic neighborhoods.
I’ll take you to visit some of the coolest and hidden contemporary art galleries in the beautiful Salesas-Chueca neighborhood, including Max Estrella, Juana de Aizpuru, and Michael Soskine.
We’ll meet some of the owners, learn about current art trends in the city, and hear the process behind putting together each show. so you can feel how this artistic neighborhood breathes.
After that, we'll walk to my personal studio, where I'll share my own art, while we chat over some cheese, olives, other tapas. Of course, the food will be paired with a nice Spanish wine, beer, or soft drinks.

I met a cheerful and resourceful local artist for a guide. She was great throughout the tour, and even helpful with tips and answered questions for the next days.

Maria Burgaz, a talented local artist, guided us around several local galleries which we would never have found without her assistance. Maria's knowledge and enthusiasm are second to none. As well as bringing to life the many pieces we viewed, Maria was also extremely helpful afterwards in providing a full list of the artists featured and galleries visited for future reference.

We enjoyed the wide range of contemporary art on view and the different sorts of gallery spaces with their various exhibition styles. Maria was very knowledgeable about the artists, the artworks, & the situations of the galleries themselves. Since she is an artist herself we valued her insights into the creative processes of the work and life of the artists.

This tour will bring you positive energy, surprises, delight, and glimpses of art you’d likely never otherwise see on your own. Maria is a sparkling star of a host whose upbeat and kind personality makes you immediately feel as though you’re with a dear friend (only, a friend who has personal relationships with the top gallery owners in Madrid!). The variety of galleries and artworks we saw during the perfectly-paced tour was astonishing, and the conclusion of the visit at Maria’s own art studio was fabulous. We’d give 10 out of 5 stars if we could--you’ll miss out on an unforgettable art experience in Madrid if you pass this tour by.

Maria does a fantastic job with this tour - super knowledgeable and connected in the contemporary art community - and a very fun and positive person! Also a great artist herself - was great to visit her studio at the end of the tour. Highly recommended.

Wonderful guided tour! Very enjoyable. Access to (indeed) hidden galleries with María, who is extremely knowledgeable and nice, in one of the most lovely districts of Madrid. Plus you get to meet the owners and even the artists themselves if you get lucky! Bonus: at the end, a relaxed Spanish snack in her atelier. What else can you ask for?

Maria is very knowledgeable and familiar with the art scene in Madrid. We felt welcomed in every gallery and Maria’s information about each gallery and each artist was invaluable. Maria also invited us at the end of the tour to her beautiful studio with her colorful works, where we had some wine and tapas. We will definitely join the tour again in our next visit to Madrid.

Maria took us on an astonishing journey to some fabulous really hidden galleries we would never have found without her. She was so well prepared to the story and history of each gallery and their respective owners as well as to each current exhibition and the respective artists. She introduced us perfectly to all the artwork and the backgrounds of it - in one gallery the artist of the current exhibition was present and gave us a personal introduction. So we got quite an insight in the variety of modern art and artists in Spain and abroad. Apart from that Maria was very caring and her friendliness and vivid kind of communication made sure that we were most comfortable and lost potential shyness. Our journey finished in Maria‘s own studio and we were struck by the colorful expressive artwork that she creates. She gave as an intimate insight in her personal artistic process in a most unpretentious manner. We had olives and cheese along with a cool choice of beverages, chatted and laughed a lot as if we had known each other for a long time. We really felt like being „at home“! When we come back to Madrid (and we will come back), we will join Maria for a new trip through the hidden galleries of her city - that’s for sure! We thank Maria dearly for a wonderful experience!

A wonderful way to spend the morning and a unique insight into another side of Madrid’s extensive art world. I live in Madrid but still wouldn’t have been able to organise this myself. Many of the galleries are hidden away and you’d never know they were there. María has a wonderful relationship with them and a fantastic knowledge of their exhibitions. We even got access to an exhibition that was not yet open. The cherry on the cake was a a trip to Maria’s studio. Over a glass of wine we chatted for ages and admired her work which is as warm as she is. I thoroughly recommend this experience.
