Itinerary

Stop 1

This stop is made in the Plaza del Comercio, where three squares converge; Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Santa Cruz and the Plaza del Comercio itself where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located, the former prison of the aristocracy. There our guide will tell us the history of La Plaza Mayor and how from being a suburb of Madrid it becomes the main square of the capital.

Stop 2

In the Plaza de Ramales there was the church of San Jua, belonging to the order of Santiago. This was demolished to convert the space into a plaza by Jose Bonaparte, among the rubble it is thought that the remains of Velazquez are found.

Stop 3

We will walk along a narrow street to discover a viewpoint that will amaze us with its views, a space from where we can observe from a special point the entire historical-artistic complex that represents the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral. Awesome.

Stop 4

At the viewpoint we will have the privilege of observing this building that is linked to the Royal Palace through the Plaza de la Armería, which serves for the representation of different official acts and events. This cathedral, which took 110 years to build, is oriented from North to South instead of East to West like most Christian temples. We will tell you their secrets

Stop 5

Splendid square that houses the true flavor of the Madrid of the Austrian monarchy. In it we find buildings such as the Torre de los Lujanes or the Casa de Cisneros. The old Madrid City Hall was located in this square, now in the Cibeles Palace.

Stop 6

On our way back we will border La Puerta del Sol, the center of Madrid and Spain. This square is located the Post Office Building, where the tower with the clock is located that every year offers us the chimes of New Year's Eve.
