Malasaña & Chueca: A Tour that Shouts Freedom

The tour lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes
Available in Spanish

Description

The Madrid of the Unveiling: A Journey Through the Alternative Soul of Madrid.


Dive into Spain's most iconic history: The Unveiling, the creative explosion of the Movida Madrileña, and the LGTBIQ+ advocacy.

From enlightened riots to the explosion of La Movida and the LGTBIQ+ struggle, discover how Malasaña and Chueca became symbols of resistance and freedom.

Relive:

  • ⚔️ Revolt and execution: Manuela Malasaña and the fight against Napoleonic oppression.
  • 🎸 The Movida Madrileña: a burst of creativity after decades of dictatorship.
  • 📻 Pop culture, fanzines, and forbidden music: the voice of a fearless generation.
  • 🌈 The awakening of Chueca: from a marginalized neighborhood to the capital of Pride.
  • 🧑‍🎤 Transvestites, drags, and transformism: who broke out of the closets with a bang on stage.
  • 🏛️ Pedro Zerolo and Pride: how pain was transformed into law and celebration.



🎉 More than a tour, an experience:

  • 🚶‍♀️ Walk through the real settings of revolts, concerts, and activism.
  • 📖 Hear the stories that never appear in books: the lives of the marginalized, the silenced bodies, and the parties that changed everything.
  • 🎶 Discover the music of the era: from Alaska to Parálisis Permanente, including the anthems of Pride.
  • 🏳️‍🌈 Discover how the street became a trench and a stage, and how Chueca went from being a stigmatized ghetto to the heart of Pride.


This is not just a tour. It is a celebration of resistance, art, and free bodies.
