On this tour, I'll provide you a historical introduction on the creation of the Spanish Empire and its development, whose power during the 1600s and 1700s is clearly shown in this part of Madrid. At the famous Puerta de Alcalá, I'll tell you why the indecision of the King resulted in the creation of a special design of the main gate of Madrid. As we enjoy strolling through beautiful Parque del Retiro, which is a former Royal Palace, I'll tell you how the palace was destroyed and why it was used for a grotesque 'Human Zoo' exhibition. I'll also tell you the funny story of when someone destroyed the famous statue at the top of the Cibeles Fountain, and how the statues of 2 great lions at the entrance of the Parliament were built using materials from the war in Morocco. Further in our tour, we'll marvel at the great Paseo del Prado and we will wrap up our time together in the main shopping and theatre street in the city, the famous Gran Via. The following itinerary could be customized upon request:
-We'll start at Puerta de Alcalá, the most famous gate of Madrid, one of the icons of the city. -Then we'll explore the most beautiful park, 'Parque del Retiro', a former Royal Palace and gardens. -Next, we'll pass over Barrio de los Jeronimos to see the remains of the old Retiro Palace and the Iglesia de los Jeronimos, which is one of the oldest ones in town. -We'll continue towards the Museo del Prado, one of the finest art galleries in the world (a visit inside the Museo del Prado is not included, though). -Next, we'll see the National Parliament, the most crucial political building in modern Spain. -We'll then walk the world's oldest promenade surrounded by trees, the 'Paseo del Prado'. -At the end of the Paseo del Prado we will see the iconic 'Fuente de Cibeles' with the most gorgeous building of the 20th century in Madrid, the Palacio de Cibeles. -Our very last stop will be in Gran Vía, the main avenue in the city known as the Broadway of Spain.
