Explore how power, slavery, and colonization shaped the splendor of Bourbon Madrid. This two-hour guided walking tour in Madrid, beginning in Plaza Mayor and culminating near the Prado Museum, reveals the hidden side of 18th-century Madrid — a period of imperial expansion and urban transformation that consolidated Madrid as the heart of the Spanish Empire.

Along the route, you will discover how wealth generated by the slave trade and colonial territories financed the grand architectural projects, royal palaces, and artistic works that define Madrid’s urban landscape today. From royal squares and administrative buildings to the cultural spaces of the Paseo del Prado, the tour invites you to look beyond the monumental façade to uncover the hidden lives and labor that sustained the rise of modern Madrid.

With the expert guidance of AfroIbérica Tours, this experience offers a critical and revealing interpretation of Spain’s colonial past and its lasting legacy in the contemporary city — a walk through the splendor and shadows of Bourbon Madrid.

Meeting Location: Plaza Mayor, under the main building shown in the image.
