At Walks, our guided walking tours delve deep into the heart of a city, uncovering rich history, stories, and special details in every place, familiar or brand new.
There’s a unique joy in wandering—through the local streets, beneath the grandeur of historic buildings, and observing every detail that makes a place truly special.
Whenever you’re exploring a city on a tour or doing it solo, we encourage you to slow down and savor the small details. Look up at the architecture, admire the layout of iconic sites, discover hidden squares, and soak in the colors and textures that make each place one-of-a-kind.
In this video we’re taking some walks through Athens, Seville, Madrid, Lisbon, and Jerez de la Frontera.

EXPLORING VENICE BY BOAT
You’re likely familiar with the gondolas of Venice, but what about the many other types of boats in the city?
Venice relies on boats for everything—ambulances, fire departments, trash collection, police, parcel and cargo delivery, and general transportation.
When visiting, getting around the island isn’t limited to just gondolas.
There are boats specifically for crossing canals (if a bridge isn’t nearby), speedboats to cruise the city and reach nearby islands, and public water buses for easy travel.
Watch and save this video for your next trip to Venice!

Cultural context is everything. Especially when it comes to Semana Santa in Spain.
♦️ During Holy Week (or, Semana Santa), the sight of people dressed in robes and hoods might initially appear unsettling or confusing to those unfamiliar with the tradition. However…
♦️ These garments are an integral part of the religious and cultural observance of the occasion, and they are not affiliated with any supremacist hate group (as people might assume on first glance).
♦️ These robes, worn during Holy Week processions, are donned by individuals known as "nazarenos," and the distinctive pointed hoods they wear are called "capirotes."
♦️ The capirotes were originally worn by nazarenos to show penance while hiding their faces. Historically, it's thought to have originated during the Spanish Inquisition (1478–1834).
♦️ Today, members of hermandades or cofradías (brotherhoods) continue to wear these robes and participate in processions.
♦️ The robes and hoods vary in color, including white, red, blue, yellow, purple, green, or black, depending on the association. Some nazarenos even walk barefoot, a tradition harking back to earlier times, and often carry crosses or candles during the processions.
♦️ Each cofradía or hermandad will display their organization's emblem on their robes.
♦️ Nazarenos can be seen in cities across Spain, especially in southern spots like Seville, Malaga, and Granada.
