Tour description

Hello! I am Hugo and I invite you to enjoy an exciting cultural tour where the great artists of the Spanish word brought life and an ingenious literary duel , and you will learn about their great contribution to universal literature.
In just an hour and a half you will see where the writers of the Golden Age lived and created part of their works: Cervantes, Góngora, Lope de Vega, Quevedo... and also the poets of Romanticism such as Bécquer and Zorrilla; the Nobel Prize winners for Literature Echegaray and Benavente, and even the member of the Generation of '27 García Lorca, as well as other interesting characters and places.

Itinerary:

  • Monument to Calderon de la Barca.
  • Monument to Garcia Lorca.
  • Spanish theater.
  • Matute Square.
  • Royal Academy of History.
  • Convent of the Trinitarian Order.
  • House of Quevedo /Gongora.
  • House-Museum of Lope de Vega.
  • House of Miguel de Cervantes.
  • Birthplace of Jacinto Benavente.
  • Church of San Sebastian.


During the tour I will tell you why the archetype of the "women-mocking" man is called Don Juan Syndrome; I will also tell you why Cervantes arranged for his mortal remains to rest in this Barrio de las Letras.
I hope to see you on my free tour and I am sure that you will always have a pleasant and unforgettable experience about the Madrid literary scene!

Nos encantó el tour con Hugo. No hacía buen tiempo pero disfrutamos mucho y se nos hizo muy ameno. Sea uno conocedor o no de la literatura, caminar por este barrio mientras te cuentan las vivencias y anécdotas de tantos escritores hace de este tour una experiencia muy enriquecedora.
