Itinerario
Bienvenido a nuestro punto de encuentro ubicado en la calle Mayor 43. Desde aquí comenzará su visita al Palacio Real
El nombre de la plaza ha cambiado con el tiempo. Ha sido conocida como "Plaza del Arrabal", "Plaza de la Constitución", "Plaza Real", "Plaza de la República" y ahora "Plaza Mayor". Estos nombres reflejan acontecimientos, historia y reinado en la historia Española. "Plaza del Arrabal" fue el nombre original de la actual "Plaza Mayor". La "Plaza del Arrabal" fue una vez el sitio del mercado más popular hasta finales del siglo XV. Siguiendo la Constitución de 1812, todas las plazas principales de España pasaron a llamarse "Plaza de la Constitución". También mantuvo este nombre 1820 a 1823, 1833 a 1835, 1840 a 1843, y 1876 a 1922. Cuando el rey Borbón fue restaurado en 1814, se le conoció como la "Plaza Real". En 1873, el nombre cambió a "Plaza de la República". Al finalizar la Guerra Civil Española la plaza recibió su nombre actual de "Plaza Mayor".
Han pasado más de 100 años desde que el Mercado de San Miguel abrió sus puertas como mercado mayorista de alimentos. Hoy en día, este edificio histórico destaca como uno de los principales mercados gastronómicos del mundo. Permite a los visitantes experimentar la esencia y los sabores más significativos de cada rincón de España. Desde el mejor jamón ibérico y los pescados y mariscos más frescos traídos diariamente desde Galicia, hasta los platos de arroz mediterráneo y los quesos más exquisitos de Castilla, Asturias y el País Vasco: en el Mercado de San Miguel, encontrará todos los aspectos destacados de la cocina Española. Repartidos en más de 20 stands, el denominador común es la apuesta por las tapas de alta calidad y los pubs.
Esta pequeña calle es una de las dos plazas con más encanto de Madrid : Conde de Miranda y Villa. Y puede presumir de albergar un espacio protegido por el entorno histórico y artístico que lo rodea : en la esquina de la plaza de la Villa se encuentra la Torre de los Lujanes (perteneciente al siglo XV). En esa misma parte de la calle se encuentran también la Real Sociedad Económica Maritense de Amigos del País, la antigua Periódica Municipal y la Iglesia del Corpus Christi, donde se encuentra el Convento de Las Carboneras, ya que la congregación guarda una imagen de Inmaculada Concepción encontrada en un horno de carbón vegetal y a la que se atribuyen diversos milagros.
Fue uno de los principales núcleos medievales de Madrid, ya que de él parten tres calles, correspondientes al trazado original de la ciudad : Codo, Cordón y Madrid. En sus afueras se encuentran las fachadas principales de tres edificios de alto valor histórico-artístico, construidos en diferentes siglos. La más antigua es la Casa y Torre de los Lujanes (siglo XV), de estilo gótico-mudéjar, situada en el lado este de la Plaza. Esta es ahora la oficina de la Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas.
El Palacio Real de Madrid es la residencia oficial del Rey de España; sin embargo, los reyes actuales no viven en él, sino en el Palacio de la Zarzuela, por lo que se utiliza para ceremonias de Estado y actos solemnes. Ahora es cuando nuestra visita realmente comienza. Aunque el proyecto original de Juvarra nunca se llevó a cabo, el Palacio Real de Madrid puede presumir de ser el palacio habitado más grande de Europa. Y decimos habitado porque, aunque la Familia Real Española no reside en él, sigue siendo el lugar donde tienen su residencia oficial. Como hemos comentado anteriormente, el edificio, cuyas obras se prolongaron hasta 1764 cuando Carlos III vivió en él por primera vez, está formado por 135.000 metros cuadrados y 3.418 habitaciones, destacando también sus 870 ventanas, 240 balcones o las 44 escaleras con las que cuenta.

At first I was disappointed we were walking “again on another tour”. I thought we were on a tour bus as my hubby had booked it but with Beatrice, soon I forgot I was walking and exploring in the August heat. I was transported into another time of Madrid and was in my element of history. She was courteous, professional and clearly spoke English. She didn’t rush us and took care to show us many key points of interest during our tour (including brief quizzes) while visiting the Royal Spanish palace. I would recommend her as a guide to anyone. Well done Beatrice!

Other than the last minute tour change, the tour itself was very entertaining and informative. The change of time did put a kink in our plans for the day.

The tour was nice, because we went during the summer it was very warm, so book in the morning, as many of the room in the palace does not have fans or AC. Also the tour didn’t cover the Armory which we thought was a must see! The armory is a separate building as u exit…it’s to the right.
Dear Marilyn, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with our Madrid Old Town and Royal Palace tour. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the visit, and we appreciate your helpful observations for future travelers, especially regarding the summer temperatures inside some areas of the Palace. Thank you also for mentioning the Royal Armory. We understand that you would have liked this fascinating collection to be included as part of the guided visit, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the itinerary.
