Free tour of Madrid during the Civil War

On this comprehensive tour, the highest rated for its quality, I'll show you, as a professional historian and guide, a period in Madrid's history that goes unnoticed today in the modern and vibrant capital of Spain, when the city became one of the main battlegrounds of the Spanish Civil War. On a walk between Parque de la Montaña and Parque del Oeste , we'll discover an urban landscape with prisons, forts, trenches and shelters, and emblematic monuments and vestiges of the era.
Throughout the tour , we'll use images to reconstruct the major events of this war period, its origins, and also what daily life and survival were like for Madrid residents during those difficult times.

¡Hola! Soy Técnico Superior en Guía, Información y Asistencia Turística, y mi vocación es mostrar el rico patrimonio cultural de mi ciudad, Madrid, que tiene tantos atractivos que ofrecer a quienes nos visitan como a los madrileños que quieren conocerla mejor. Me formé como Licenciado en Ciencias Políticas y DEA ( posgrado de doctorado ) en Historia Contemporánea, me apasionan los viajes, la historia, el arte y todas las manifestaciones culturales de los destinos, y disfruto transmitiéndolo a quienes vienen a descubrirnos. Viajé por Europa y he puesto un pie en África, Oriente Próximo y América, aunque lo considero como las primeras etapas de nuevos viajes y experiencias. También me resulta estimulante la comunicación con personas de diferentes culturas y nacionalidades. Todo ello cuidando siempre la organización y planificación de las visitas, y su adaptación a los distintos públicos. ¡Estoy entusiasmado por ayudar a nuestros visitantes a descubrir las maravillas de Madrid!
