Description of Guided tour: Love, betrayal and lust at Court
Love, jealousy, lust, passion and betrayal have been the main ingredients of the Madrid court throughout the centuries.
We propose a route where primary instincts will dominate everything. A route in which power is mixed with lust, where love will be betrayed by ambitions that will change the course of the history of Spain . The protagonists of our guided tour will be kings and queens of Spain, who giving free rein to their feelings caused real scandals in their time.
On this visit, we will learn surprising stories that will make us travel to the Middle Ages of Madrid to discover the sickly jealousy of a famous king, which led him to commit true atrocities, some of which have been reflected in the Madrid street map.
We will also enter the Court of Felipe II and the still unresolved conspiracy of El Escorial. A conspiracy full of passion, jealousy and betrayals in the 16th century Madrid, where excessive love and infidelity populated the Madrid court and ended with the arrest of the princess of Éboli and a series of mysterious murders that remain unsolved.
The arrival of the Bourbons at Court will bring us endless lustful stories, in which the desire for excessive power will lead some queens in the eighteenth century to seek power without scruples, becoming the most feared women of their time, making betrayal, poisons and black magic their leitmotif.
But without a doubt one of our main protagonists will be the so-called nymphomaniac queen and her countless lovers and upskirts, in which public corruption was put at the service of private lust. We will continue with the love affairs of the successive kings until we reach the Bourbons of the early 20th century and their inordinate hobbies to the world of the night, prostitution, psychotic cinema and theater actresses.
