Madrid Historical Tour
From the Moors to the present day. Madrid is unique in European capitals as having been founded as an Islamic city.
Its early beginnings are explored following its journey to becoming the nation’s capital in the 16th century when the court of Philip II moved to Madrid.
We follow through its Habsburg and Bourbon dynasties, Napoleonic and Civil Wars to trace its past and key figures of Spanish and European history.
La Mancha of Don Quixote Tour
The book by Miguel de Cervantes is the most famous and read book in Spanish literature.
This novel, which tells the adventures and especially the misfortunes and adventures of an impoverish knight and his faithful servant Pancho is the setting for this route that winds its way across the plains of Castilla La Mancha from Toledo to the town of Consuegra whose famous windmills are such an integral part of the story.
A guide historical tour and Don Quixote narrative and interpretation as we follow in the footsteps of the “Knight of the Sad Countenance.”
Spanish Civil War Tour
The 1936 -1939 conflict casts a long shadow over Spain.
We explore its origins and battles as the war ebbed and flowed between one side and another including tours and museum visit for the Battle Of Jarama and visit to the former Valley of the Fallen monument -now renamed Finca de Cuelgamuros whose polemic struggles for the removal of the bodies of General Franco and the Falangist leader Jose Maria Primo de Rivera reflect that the divisions of the past are not as buried as they should be.
