Tour description

There are diverse and evolving perspectives on the devil, as have the different ways of representing him. With this tour, you'll not only learn more about the evolution of the devil, but also the meanings hidden behind the symbolism that accompanies his different forms: man, woman, serpent, dragon, goat, and others... difficult to describe.

Plus, you can do so at the impressive Prado Museum on a flexible, approximately two-hour tour, all guided by masters such as Bosch, Dürer, Titian, and, of course, Goya. Curious enough to try the fruit? 🐍

To ensure the tour is carried out in optimal conditions, the experience will be limited to a maximum of 5 visitors, who must pay their museum admission separately (up to €15) .

If you qualify for a discount, you must bring the required documentation (student ID, disability card, etc.).

I'll be in front of the Goya statue, right across from the ticket office and the museum's main entrance. Look for the young man holding a black handkerchief.
