Embark on the Majestic Paths of the Palacio

A royal stage once echoed with hushed conspiracies while city secrets rippled beneath Madrid’s grandest plazas. Here in the vibrant heart of the Centro district, centuries of drama await beyond the polished facades.

Uncover Madrid on a self-guided audio tour through shadows and splendor, where lesser-known stories hide in plain sight and overlooked buildings hold the keys to Spain’s past.

Who risked their life plotting inside Teatro Real’s velvet halls during a midnight rebellion? What cryptic oath did ancient scholars swear behind Instituto de España’s silent doors? And why did heated whispers at the Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias nearly bring the capital to chaos over a single disputed chair?

Move through alleys pulsing with political intrigue, past faded monuments marked by scandal and into hidden corners thrumming with forgotten ambition. Experience Madrid like a true insider and walk paths layered with intrigue.

Press play and let the city reveal its secrets—if you dare look behind the mask.
