Association or organization

👍👍 Today we have done the "Hidden Madrid" route with Míriam and it has been spectacular. We have learned countless things that we were unaware of in a fun and interactive way and our eight-year-old son has enjoyed it like the most. We are already thinking of doing another one shortly. Thanks Miriam!...

Church of Our Lady of the Marvelous

Catholic church

👍👍 A Parish half defeated by the emptiness of faithful and overcome by the attacks of Satan's minions. A martyr of this modern world and the political changes of this beloved Spain. However, in its origins the most multitudinous fervors of a patient and hard-working Spanish citizenry were contemplated...

Saint Isidore Chapel

Chapel

👍👍 A real surprise in the Madrid of the Austrias, this small chapel built on the stables where Saint Isidro worked and lived. It is worth visiting and evoking the attractive figure of the patron saint of Madrid. To access you have to enter through the neighbors' portal, a curiosity. I found the chapel...

Casa de Calderón de la Barca
