Madrid Sunset & Legends Free Tour
Ghost stories, royal scandals and the best sunset in town
When the heat breaks and the light turns amber, Madrid starts telling secrets. This evening walk mixes the city’s darkest legends — inquisition trials, haunted houses, a king’s cursed clock — with a finale at the Debod Temple, an actual Egyptian temple with Madrid’s most famous sunset view.
The walk starts at Plaza Mayor (Plaza Mayor, Madrid) and runs daily, 2 hours before sunset. It lasts around 2 hours, is offered in English, Spanish, and the group is capped at 25 people so the experience stays personal. Look for the guide with the green FreeTour sign.
