Full description

Old Madrid takes on a different character once the streetlights come on. This evening walk, led entirely in Spanish, weaves through the Habsburg quarter around Plaza Mayor, the Plaza de la Villa and the narrow streets near the Royal Palace, stopping at buildings linked to local legends, famous crimes and centuries-old superstitions.

It’s a storytelling tour rather than a history lecture, suited to Spanish speakers or learners who want to practise their listening. Groups are kept small so everyone can hear and ask questions.
