Overview

The guided tour of Madrid de los Austrias is an essential walk in the city, notable for the stories that we will tell you and interesting for the historical buildings that we will see on the tour.
We will talk about “the gossips”, the disappeared Church of Good Success or the clock and its famous twelve chimes at the end of the year, that when they ring, we eat a grape for each chime, but… did you know where this tradition comes from? Dare to come and we will tell you.
We will also talk about the customs of the Austrias, the festivities, the comedy corrals, the clothing they wore, the inquisition or the trade of the time.
The walk will make you feel and live in a different way a Madrid of the past that has left us a great legacy. Come meet him!
