Tour description

Historical tour. Recommended for people over 16 years old.
An unbeatable excuse: a walk through El Retiro park to talk about Queen Juana I of Castile

Why did they call her "the Crazy"?
Why was she locked up until the end of her days?
How did her contemporaries judge her?
How did history judge her?

We invite you to take a look at this historical review while we walk through beautiful places in the city of Madrid.
We begin by visiting the statue of the queen on the Paseo de las Estatuas in El Retiro Park and, while we enjoy this tour of the park and surroundings, we will meet Juana, the daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, from her childhood to her confinement in the Tordesillas fortress.

El Retiro Park (5 stops inside the park)
Buen Retiro House
Jeronimos Church
