Madrid Under Bombardment Free Tour: The Spanish Civil War in the Streets

Discover how the Spanish Civil War was lived in Madrid, the first major European capital to suffer systematic bombing. In this tour, we will move away from the coldness of the dates to understand the reality of a civilian population that lived with fear, hunger and daily resistance.

What we will analyze in this tour:

- Madrid as a Laboratory: we will see how the city became the prelude to World War II, being the scenario where the tactics of modern warfare were tested.

- Life under Siege: We will talk about the air-raid shelters, the organization of the civil defense and how the people of Madrid tried to maintain daily life among the ruins.

- Propaganda and Diplomacy: We will discover the international relevance of the conflict and the role of foreign correspondents (such as Hemingway or Saint-Exupéry) who reported the drama to the world.

- Traces of the Past: We will walk through real places where the conflict left its mark, connecting the events of 1936 with the Madrid you see today.

This is a clear experience, designed for those who want to understand the deep history of Spain without needing to be experts on the subject.
