Cities are not only defined by the historical milestones that have defined them. There are other stories, more hidden, embedded in the subconscious of its inhabitants, which sometimes draw them better than their own streets and squares.
Madrid is a city full of these stories. Some have already been unveiled; others have not yet. Get to know them both in our Tour of Mysteries and Legends, which for two hours will show you “the B side” of the capital of Spain.
After organizing the groups and starting the tour in the Plaza de Pontejos we will go to the neighborhood of La Latina, one of the oldest and most historic of the city. During the tour through this neighborhood we will visit emblematic places such as the Puerta Cerrada, the Mercado de la Cebada or the Museo de San Isidro (to finally head to the Plaza de Oriente crossing the Viaducto de Segovia). The mythological origins of the city, the crimes that have plagued its streets or the strange miracles attributed to its patron saint will star in the stories of these stops.
Afterwards, we will stop in front of the Almudena Cathedral, one of the most important buildings in the city, with a history that goes back more than 100 years. There, you will learn a little more about the Christian conquest of Madrid and the legend of the Virgin of Almudena, its patron saint.
After crossing the fascinating illuminated Plaza de Oriente we will end the tour at the Convent of the Incarnation. This convent was built in the 17th century in commemoration of the expulsion of the Moors from all Hispanic territories. Every year, this temple celebrates one of the strangest and most surprising paranormal phenomena in the country…
Join our Mysteries and Legends of Madrid Tour, in which not even the Holy Inquisition will be spared from being part of a story that will shed some light on the shadows of the city!
