Ultimately it's all about PEOPLE – however well-scripted the brochure or website is, and however alluring the photos may appear, what really counts are the people you encounter, and the genuine experiences you share with them. We provide insider access to unique places and faces – a fantastic range of fabulous characters and personalities. There's something or someone for all tastes and preferences. Our network of collaborators from all walks of life allows you to enjoy activities and experiences such as: an insider's tour of authentic gypsy (flamenco) culture, private cooking classes with top chefs in their own homes, personal invitations to private homes of the aristocracy, visits to traditional and vanguard wineries with welcomes from their owners, behind-the-scenes introductions to bullfighters, of course the best guides in each city and much more!

At Madrid & Beyond we design customized vacations for those seeking the opportunity to go beyond all the clichés and discover the heart and pulse of both historic and contemporary Spain. Allow us to open doors that remain closed to others...
