Beneath the relentless buzz of Madrid’s Puerta del Sol lies a city layered with secrets, silent rebellions, and hidden sanctuaries. This self-guided audio tour peels back the centuries, inviting you to trace winding alleys, forgotten cloisters, and shadowy corners most travelers overlook.

What royal scandal once shook the peaceful halls of the Monastery of the Descalzas Reales? Which forbidden book smuggler slipped through the centuries-old doors of the Church of San Ginés de Arles? And why did a single clocktower become the pulse of political uprisings?

Move beyond postcard scenes and stride into stories of intrigue and wonder. Feel Madrid’s heartbeat as you uncover coups whispered behind chapel walls and ancient plazas where destinies changed at midnight. Every step brings a new revelation and every street hides its own legend.

The city’s hidden layers are waiting. Step forward and listen—Madrid holds its breath for your discovery.
