Description

Madrid is full of myths and legends but only some of them have a real background.

Together we will examine stories and legends of Madrid. We will examine why a ghost appears in the rooftop of a house in the center, why a child seems to appear next to here dollhouse and many other legends of the city.

We will not try to scare you but to give you the tools to examine the historical context of the period and how this environment(church, palace and the civil war) created the myths of modern Madrid.


Together we will walk for 2 hours in the heart of Madrid and we will examine the myths and legends of the city. Haunted buildings and hospitals, streets with history hidden inside their name, and we will discuss the most popular urban legends of Madrid and Spain.

As they say, where is smoke there is fire so we will examine the historical context of the myths and we will try to break them down.

Every one of them has more than one version so together we will analyse what is the spectrum we use to interpret with legends.

During those 2 hours, we will be in continuous movement and we will start from the heart of the city the Puerta del Sol and we will finish in Plaza Mayor.
