From the very first moment of the tour, I'll be providing you with a historical introduction to both Spain's and Madrid's history, focusing on the Royal Family and the Royal Palace, which will be one of our first stops. I'll also be sharing the history of the Plaza de Oriente and the statue of Philip IV. Also, you'll learn about how the Palace was used during the Republican time and during the Dictatorship of Francisco Franco and how the Royals came back to Madrid after his death. In addition to that, we'll enjoy one of the greatest sights of Madrid and its surroundings, from the lookout inside the palace patio. And of course I'll discuss the details of the Great halls, salons, and rooms of the Palace with you. In the last part of the tour we'll see the Cathedral of Madrid, which looks like an old building although it opened just 30 years ago. Here I'll share the history of the Virgin of Almudena, the patron saint of Madrid.
-We'll start at Plaza de Oriente, where you will learn about the strange story behind the first statue of a horse with 2 legs standing in the air. -Adjacent to the Plaza, we'll also see the Opera House. -Then we'll get to the Royal Palace of Madrid, the biggest royal palace in Europe. We will discover the place's history and talk about the Royals' dirty laundry in Spain. -Reaching the Palace's patio, we'll take in a stunning panoramic view of Madrid. -Next, we'll see the most modern Cathedral in Europe, the Santa Maria de la Almudena Cathedral in Madrid. You will learn about why it is so contemporary, why it took so long to build it, and about the miracles of the Patron Saints of Madrid. This itinerary could be customized upon request.
