Este tour a pie por Madrid revela la presencia africana y afrodescendiente en la ciudad, destacando la historia de la esclavitud, el legado morisco, la diáspora negra y los efectos de la colonización en la capital. A través de lugares emblemáticos, el recorrido muestra cómo las comunidades africanas han influido en la configuración urbana, cultural y social de Madrid.
La experiencia conecta pasado y presente: desde tiempos anteriores a Colón hasta la actualidad, evidenciando continuidades, cambios y resistencias. El tour no es solo turístico, sino profundamente educativo y reflexivo, visibilizando historias que suelen quedar fuera de los recorridos tradicionales y señalando espacios donde aún se perciben huellas físicas y simbólicas del comercio esclavista y la herencia africana.
Meeting Location: Plaza de Isabel II (frente a Starbucks del Teatro Real), Metro Ópera.

Such an amazing experience! Kwame is a fantastic guide and I learnt so much about the black history of Madrid - as a local, this was a great insight into a part of the local history that was never taught to me before! Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for the amazing review and the kind words Jaimie.

Thank you!
Thank you very much!
This was a very interesting tour, and Kwame was a great educator. I saw things I wouldn't have noticed on my own, and learnt a lot. The walking part of things was very easy, with lots of shade - so have no fear.
Thanks for the amazing review
INCREDIBLE TOUR!!
What an amazing morning we spent with Kwame. He provided a fair, balanced, nuanced, and insightful look into the contributions and influences of blacks in Spain. Kwame‘s knowledge of the history was impressive. Even more impressive was his willingness to engage with us and discuss how Spain’s black history is “hidden in plain sight.“ of all our experiences during our vacation in Spain, this is a clear highlight.
No matter what else you plan to do while in Spain, add this to your itinerary-do it now!
Thanks for the amazing review and the kind words
