Description

Discover the dark legends of Madrid on a guided walking tour. Learn about the city's history and the myths and legends that have been passed down through the ages. Meet your guide at the Pontejos Square and head to the nearby Plaza de la Provincia. Here, in front of the monumental building of the Palace of Santa Cruz, learn about Madrid's underground, which is one of the most popular means of transport in the Spanish capital. Next, make your way to the La Latina neighborhood, one of the oldest in Madrid. Pass through the Plaza de Puerta Cerrada and then stop at Cebada Market and the San Isidro Museum to discuss the city's origins and the miracles of Madrid's patron saint. Continue to the Segovia Viaduct. After learning about the tragic suicides that have taken place on this bridge, continue to the Almudena Cathedral. Admire this building from the outside and discuss a legend that dates back to the 19th century. Just a few meters away, pause in front of the Royal Palace to discover a dark legend. Finally, after a 2-hour tour, finish your activity in front of the Royal Monastery of La Encarnación to discuss a unique saint. Travel back in time to the era of the Spanish Inquisition to round off your tour with a surprising tale.
