Overview
We will visit some well known sites and also hidden gems.
As a driving force and mirror and of the history, culture and art of Spain but also of Europe, along the tour the past will come to life. From the Muslim influence to the austere North European of the Habsburg and the glamour of the Bourbons, the city is an enthralling mix of cultures.
You will discover how a fort of the IX century became the capital of an Empire. In Madrid great stories arise in every corner. This is the city that governed half of America and large areas of the world, produced some of the best artists and writers of all time but also struggled with crime, a Napoleon invasion and a Civil War.
My goal is that at the end of the tour you will see some of the most beautiful and meaningful sites and understand their deep meaning. Madrid is the result of a series of unexpected events, conquests, successes and contradictions that create a unique urbanism, heritage and culture with great impact in Western culture.
