Who gives tours on Sunday mornings? I would think all city tour companies would be closed on Sundays
Especialy around the second of February!

Put on your walking shoes! Take MetroMadrid to Opera (
Opera, Plaza de Oriente, Palacio Réal). Then you can walk up
Calle Mayór to the
Plaza Mayór, continue to the
Puerta del Sol. Go down
calle Alcala to Cibeles And continue to the
Puerta de Alcala and
el Parque del buen Retiro. After a stop in the park (weather permitting) you can go to the
Museo del Prado and after that walk down to Atocha.
That circuit should take you about 6-hours; but you'll probably stop for dinner along the way so add another 2-hours.
