Burning corpses, sex mad nuns, revolution and prostitution! Even before becoming the hipster paradise it is today, Malasaña has never been boring. On this tour you'll find out about its roots as a pious and yet somewhat sleazy suburb, about the emergence of its native tribe of majos, about the Dos de Mayo uprisings, and about how during the 19th century the neighbourhood turned into a university city and industrial hub. We'll finish up by delving into the heady days of the Movida that followed the transition to democracy.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I'll be outside the entrance of GYMAGE holding up a grey umbrella with pink polka dots on it.
Close to Tribunal metro.
