Our sacred journey through ancient Spain aims to regain the wisdom, history, knowledge and legacy of the ancient civilizations which have left their mark in what is now Spain. This unforgettable journey will not only visit some of Spain’s most iconic cities and its main tourist attractions, it will also take you to places far removed from mass tourism’s beaten track. Madrid Experience will ensure that you live surprising moments filled with beauty and that your feel the wonder around the country’s mysticism.
Madrid Experience can adapt the duration of the journey, as well as its content, to suit all of your requirements.
Spain has been populated by Celts, Visigoths, Vikings, Jews, Muslims, Templars, famous philosophers, as well as great thinkers, writers, and painters from all over the world. All of this long before Charles V’s global empire came into being.
During this journey you will discover impressive places-including some of Spain’s most emblematic monuments- which will take you back in time and show you some of their best-kept secrets.
You will learn about the importance, and the peculiarities, of the Escorial palace-monastery, as well as the treasures kept behind its walls. You will also deepen your understanding of the Knights Templar and visit one of their churches. Madrid Experience will also take you to bask in the beauty of Spain’s most beautiful castles and cathedrals, not forgetting about its ancient synagogues, mosques and some of its lesser-known, yet spectacular, churches. You can get to know more about St. Theresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, as well as the sacred geometry of the Muslims, the importance of water, and the energy vortexes of the way of St. James. Moreover, you can see Oviedo’s Holy Shroud, and hear an expert tell you about all the theories and arguments surrounding its authenticity.
Spain has a special magic. One which comes to life and is generated through beauty, stories filled with meaning, unforgettable views, music, and the feeling of being in the right place at the right time.
Madrid Experience takes care of the smallest details. Each day we organise lunch, or dinner, in places chosen for their magnificent views, or because there is something special about them. For example, dinner in a private property a few meters away from the Alhambra in Granada; the hall where the King of Spain greets the winners of the Princess of Asturias Awards in Oviedo; or one of Seville’s best rooftop terraces, boasting some of the best views of the city.
These are private trips, organised exclusively for your group.
