Old Madrid's harder history, after dark
A guide takes you through old Madrid's streets with the history the palace tours leave out: the Inquisition, its trials and public executions in what is now Plaza Mayor, plague, crime and dark folklore.
Dusk suits the subject. The history is well documented and told with a light touch, not theatrics.
