In my recent Darkside Walking tour with John in Madrid, I had a wonderful time. From the very beginning, John brought an incredible amount of warmth, local insight, and energy to the day. What stood out most was his deep knowledge of Spanish history and culture, which they shared not like a dry textbook, but through captivating stories and fun personal anecdotes. Beyond the sights, he gave us fantastic recommendations for local food, hidden alleyways, and spots to visit on our own afterward. If you are lucky enough to travel to Madrid, Spain do yourself a favor and book a tour with John. You won't regret it!"


Highlights

This is a walking tour of about 2 hours that follows the hidden side of Madrid most travelers never see, from ghost legends and real crime stories to royal scandals. Starting at Plaza Mayor, where public trials and executions of the Spanish Inquisition took place, you walk through Madrid's oldest streets and finish at Linares Palace, known as one of the most haunted buildings in Spain. Your local guide brings each place to life by weaving together history, folk legends and royal secrets.


Program

Start at Plaza Mayor,
the stage of the Inquisition

Today Plaza Mayor is one of Madrid's liveliest squares, but centuries ago it was where public trials and executions of the Spanish Inquisition were held. The tour begins on the very spot where thousands of people once gathered to watch.

Walk Madrid's oldest streets

Pass Calle de la Sal, the Church of San Ginés, Puerta del Sol and Plaza de Santa Ana while hearing stories of unsolved murders, forbidden love, political intrigue and ghost sightings. You will also hear about the streets Cervantes walked, the rivalries of Madrid's Golden Age and an assassination that changed Spanish politics.

Finish at the haunted Linares Palace

Pass the Congress of Deputies and Palacio de Buenavista before arriving at Linares Palace. The tour ends with the tragic story of Raimundita and the family secrets behind one of Madrid's oldest ghost legends.

※ The itinerary may vary at the guide's discretion to suit the group.
※ The tour ends at Linares Palace (Pl. Cibeles).
