My name is Juanlu. I am a doctor in Archaeology, a professor and an amateur philosopher. My science is to explain the city and the urban phenomenon as if it were an archaeological site. My art is to share the discovery of beauty by taking a walk. You come with me?

Tour description
Four buildings in the centre of Madrid - the Palace of the Santa Cruz, the Plaza Mayor, the Royal Collegiate Church of San Isidro and the Pontifical Basilica of San Miguel - constituted the heart of Baroque Madrid and Hispanicism.
On this tour you will discover the penetrating depth of the mysticism and beauty with which the Universal Empire was forged over a century and a half, from its purely Hispanic origins to its Italianization and Frenchification, leaving its very strong imprint on the city today.
(I offer other outdoor and indoor tours off the menu. Write to me and I will tell you about it.)
