Criminal Madrid

Crime and mystery after sunset

Did you know why ghosts swarm around the Plaza Mayor at night? Do you want to know the place where the President of the Government José Canalejas was assassinated? Or the true story behind the escape of Philip II’s secretary, Antonio Pérez? Do you know who was behind the murder of the Count of Villamediana in 1621?

I also tell you the hidden stories of the Royal Palace, the morbid details of the executions under the Habsburgs and Bourbons, the love story between a king and an actress, the amazing and sinister discovery of a German knight in love, the pious works of a rich Italian nothing pious in his younger years.

Madrid nights were always long and excessive. They were also and continue to be the hours of danger and temptation. Therefore, we will visit sites where the most famous ghosts were seen, scenes of bloody murders, tragic accidents, love scandals, and haunted palaces. On two different routes you have the opportunity to get to know the other Madrid, the Madrid at night where nothing is what it seems during the day.
