Cities are not only defined by their famous historical milestones. There are other, more hidden stories embedded in the public subconscious, which sometimes sketch the soul of the city better than their own streets and squares. Madrid is a city full of these mysteries. Some have already been unveiled; others have yet to be revealed. Get to know some of them on a unique, off-beat tour that will show you "the B side" of the Spanish capital, with plenty of humor and intrigue packed in. After starting at the Plaza de Pontejos, you'll be guided to the Plaza de Puerta Cerrada to take in the medieval times of the city. Afterwards, you will go to the Plaza Mayor to learn about a particularly strange episode that took place there. In the Plaza de la Villa, you'll meet the dragon who was the protagonist of the "other origin" of Madrid. And on your way through the Calle del Sacramento, you'll visit a beautiful lady who hides a great secret...
