Madrid at Christmas Free Tour
♡ Save
Discover hidden Madrid on this engaging walking tour! Uncover surprising links connecting Lady Di to Queen Letizia, Puerta del Sol to Big Ben, and El Cid to Almodóvar.
Amidst the rush, the preparations and the family gatherings, we’ve been uttering these phrases almost on autopilot all our lives, but… what if this Christmas you discovered the stories behind them?
We’ll set off in front of the spectacular Four Seasons Hotel (Sevilla metro station) and head out for a stroll beneath Madrid’s festive lights to step back in time to Christmases of yesteryear, peering at their tables, their presents and their traditions to recognise what we still do today and be surprised by what has changed.
Get ready to discover:
- What would you have been given as a present centuries ago, and what hidden message did the gift convey? - How did a ‘scarlet tongue’ end up on the Christmas Eve dinner table? - Why was there a year when even the grapes changed direction?
Amidst the lights, sweets and traditions, you’ll come away with a few anecdotes for your next after-dinner chat; when someone says, ‘We’ve always done it this way’, you’ll have a great story to leave them speechless… or shut them up for a little while!
Places are going faster than nougat – choose who you want to come with and book yours before they sell out!
