Description

There is nothing that human beings are more attracted to than evil. Fear often meets fascination when we uncover terrible cases of violence, cases that make us lose faith in humanity: this is the path we will travel together along this route. We begin in the Plaza Mayor talking about the Holy Inquisition, its trials, torture, and death penalties ; at the Arco de Cuchilleros, we will discover the story of a feared Madrid serial killer, the Matamendigos; in the Plaza del Conde de Barajas, two shocking events will be revealed: the story of the most cursed street in Madrid and the case of the only police report in Madrid that mentions paranormal events. In the lonely Plaza del Conde Miranda, we will recount the case of the captain's daughter and the secrets hidden in the Church of Las Carboneras; we will continue through quiet streets to the Plaza de la Villa, a square whose beauty hides true horrors. We will end at the Palace of the Marquis of Cañete, where a bloody crime seems to continue to echo in the present. This tour details violent events such as murders, torture, abuse, and paranormal occurrences; for this reason, it is not suitable for children (the company reserves the right of admission). We recommend that participants be over 14 years of age. If you want to get inside the mind of a serial killer or discover the anatomy of unforgivable crimes, this is the tour for you!
