Greetings. I'm Will, and I'm from England, but have made Madrid my home for the past six years. I've built a great life here from learning and sharing the city's history, and enjoying the food and drink of its legendary bars that can be found on almost every corner. It's my hope that after a couple of hours with me, you too will feel like a Madrileño!

The Spanish Civil War is considered the darkest period in the modern history of the country . However, there are many fascinating and inspiring stories about the people who fought in it. From the place of the assault on the Montaña barracks in the iconic Temple of Debod , to the battle front around the Parque del Oeste , we will follow the course of the defense of Madrid against Franco's army. We will also see monuments that show evidence of the battle and commemorate the soldiers, artists, and writers who left an eternal impact on Spain's heritage.
I wait for you!
Meeting point: Open in Google Maps
How to find me: I'll be in the seating area between the Cervantes monument and the santalucia building on Plaza de España, carrying a green folder.

Great tour. Great guide. WILL ON CIVIL WAR IN MADRID
Very informative and fun walking tour with Will. Recommend it
This was an outstanding historical tour on the Civil War. Will's knowledge on the topic was beyond question, and we found it fascinating.
Fascinating overview of a tragic period for Spain - when Franco and his supporters in the army mounted a coup against the elected government of the day. There isn't much evidence of the prolonged resistance by the Republicans against the Nationalists and their allies. But Will spoke eloquently, took us to parts of the city that were key to the Battle for Madrid and brought alive the fierce, very often brutal civil war that raged, around Madrid in particular. Will was very knowledgeable, was able to answer all our questions in an engaging and interesting way. We would highly recommend this tour.
