Description
Meet your guide and set off on a journey through the streets of Madrid. Begin at Calle del Codo, a narrow street where visibility disappears and things happened away from public view. Then, head to Plaza Mayor, a large square where authority was performed in front of crowds.
Continue to Puerta del Sol, a bustling square that has been the site of many historical events. Then, head to Gran Via, a street that represents the city's reinvention through movement, culture, and the reclaiming of public space.
Next, visit Palacio de Linares, a building that represents political power but also carries memories, tensions, and sometimes myths. Finally, end your tour at Bodega de la Ardosa, a traditional tavern that reminds us that everyday life, taverns, encounters, routines, is just as essential to understanding a city as its monuments.
Throughout the tour, learn about the layers of power, conflict, belief, and everyday life that make up Madrid. Hear stories of legends, taverns, and power, and see how these layers overlap, interact, and sometimes contradict each other.
