Overview

With the Habsburg, Madrid begins its true splendor, since it is under this dynasty when the city becomes the capital of Spain.

During the visit we will see the most emblematic places in Madrid: Plaza de Oriente, Viaducto, Vistillas, Plaza de San Andrés, Plaza de la Paja, Puerta Cerrada, Plaza de la Villa, calle Mayor, Mercado de San Miguel, Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.

We will know the history of the most relevant buildings and we will immerse ourselves, through history, in the environment of the 16th and 17th centuries (the period of the Habsburg Dynasty in Spain).
