Meeting point
How to reach
We'll meet at Puerta del Sol, at number 6 entrance, right in front of ZapShop. Look for us by the purple umbrella.
The exact location
Look for the purple umbrella
Puerta del Sol is large and usually crowded, so it's best to be specific: we are in the portal number 6, on the sidewalk opposite the shoe store ZapShop.
We always carry a purple umbrella Up high, in the open, rain or shine. It's the quickest way to find each other in the crowd.
We recommend arriving a few five or ten minutes before of the tour time. This gives you time to find us calmly and we leave on time.
