Free Tour of the Literary Quarter – Literary Madrid and the Golden Age
Tour description
LIMITED PLACES
Madrid is not to be explored: it is to be listened to.
And on this free tour of the Literary Quarter, Madrid speaks.
Accompanied by a local guide who is an expert in history, literature and heritage, you will immerse yourself in a cultural experience where history, theater, novels and poetry merge in the streets of Madrid's historic center.
This is not a tour of dates and names.
It is a narrative journey through literary Madrid, where the walls of the buildings breathe literature and the words left their mark.
You will learn about Valle-Inclán's indomitable character and his defiance of our first Nobel Prize winner, José Echegaray; the lyrical sensitivity of Federico García Lorca; and the elegant dramaturgy of Jacinto Benavente.
We will travel back in time to the Spanish Golden Age, in front of the houses of Lope de Vega and Miguel de Cervantes, reliving the disputes of the eternal enemies Góngora and Quevedo, while you feel how the characters who were born there still walk through the most literary neighborhood in Spain.
A journey through five centuries of Madrid's cultural history.
A free cultural tour of Madrid, enjoyable and thorough, designed for travelers who want to understand the city, not just see it.
An experience for those seeking real stories, emotion and depth, told with respect, passion and words.
