Haunted Madrid Free Walking Tour

Plaza Mayor by day is tourism, photos and a busy market. By night, for 250 years, it was the public stage for the Inquisition's autos de fe. This nighttime free tour walks you through the Madrid that regular guidebooks won't show: real ghost legends, palaces marked by tragedy, streets where condemned prisoners spent their last night, convents with relics that liquefy once a year, and squares that still have a bad reputation among locals.

This is not a cheap-scares tour. It's real history told with the right atmosphere: the Inquisition, the Corte prison, public executions, the crimes that shook 17th and 18th century Madrid, and the urban legends that survived across generations. If you've already done a classic Madrid tour and want a deeper, darker second layer, this is your plan.
