Mysteries and Legends Tour of Madrid
Description
Cities are not only defined by their historical landmarks. There are other stories, more hidden, embedded in the subconscious of its inhabitants, who sometimes draw them better than their own streets and squares. Get to know them with us on a tour that, for two hours, will show you "the B side" of the capital of Spain. After starting in the Plaza de Pontejos we will go to the Plaza de la Provincia, from where we will discover the mysteries that the Madrid Metro hides. Later we will enter the neighborhood of La Latina, one of the oldest and that treasures more stories of the city. On the tour of this neighborhood we will talk about the origins of the city, the crimes that devastated its streets or the strange miracles attributed to its patron saint. The Cathedral, the Plaza de Oriente and the Convento de la Encarnación will culminate the tour. A tour in which not even the Holy Inquisition will get rid of being part of a story that will shed some light on the shadows of Madrid.

I did this tour over Christmas with the guide Lidia and was really surprised by the deep knowledge she has of the city. Absolutely recommended!
I took part in the tour with Lidia and it was wonderful and interesting, with lots of curiosities about the city and the various characters! I followed many tips she gave us and it really changed my experience in the city, thanks again:)
It’s not a very repetitious and boring little-documented experience, I’ve been on this type of visit in other cities and it’s been more interesting. I don't recommend it.
Gracias por su opinión. Lamentamos que el tour no haya sido de su agrado, a pesar de ser uno de nuestros productos mejor valorados. Sentimos mucho que en esta ocasión la experiencia no haya sido satisfactoria
