Tour description

For centuries, the figure of the witch has haunted our nightmares, our stories, and our bonfires. But who were these women really? What was so frightening about them? Magic, ancient wisdom, or simply freedom in dark times?

This tour offers a fascinating insight into the history of witchcraft in Europe, with a very special stop in Logroño, a city that played a key role in the famous Inquisition trials. Because yes, although it may be hard to believe, one of the most shocking autos-da-fé against alleged witches was held right here in 1610.

What are you going to experience on this tour?
• A dive into the origins of the witch myth: from medieval healers to the feared covens.
• True stories based on historical documents, accompanied by immersive staging.
• The story of the witches of Zugarramurdi and their trial in Logroño, told in the very corners where it all happened.
• Interactive moments, symbolic rituals, and a live-action guide will bring the past to life.
