San Isidro: Patron Saint of Madrid |
|
|
San Isidro died in 1172, became the patron saint of the Spanish capital in the 17th century and is celebrated each year on 15 May. Our guided tour includes a visit to his house, the well where he preformed a miracle (thereby saving his small son's life) and on to the church where his silver lined coffin rests at the high-alter. A short walk away is the Plaza Mayor where we get to descend to the cellars where the unfortunate heretics were herded to await the burnings above! Lots of anecdotes on the Inquisition before we retire to a local tavern for lunch. Click here for price |
