Free Tour del Madrid Monumental de los Borbones
♡ Save
Did you know that the Puerta de Alcalá keeps a secret? And that the famous fountains of Neptune and Cibeles have a brother? With this tour, you will discover some of the essential places in the capital, as well as the secrets they keep.
¿Sabías que en realidad existen dos Puertas de Alcalá diferentes? ¿O que Cibeles y Neptuno tienen un hermano que casi nadie conoce?
Con la llegada de la dinastía Borbón, Madrid adoptó un nuevo estilo clasicista, muy distinto de la sobriedad característica de los Austrias.
En este tour, recorreremos el Madrid monumental, disfrutando de los lugares más emblemáticos y fotografiados del centro, construidos por la Casa de Borbón: la Puerta del Sol, el Congreso de los Diputados, la Plaza de Neptuno, el Paseo del Prado, el Triángulo del Arte, la Plaza de Cibeles, la Calle y la Puerta de Alcalá…
El Madrid del siglo XVIII, el de los dioses y de la Ilustración, no deja a nadie indiferente. ¿Te lo vas a perder?
