Things to do El Capricho Park Free Walking Tour
What makes the Parque del Capricho unique? Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, this park was the canvas on which the wealthy Duchess of Osuna painted all the whims that occurred to her, giving the city one of the most beautiful places that can be visited. A palace for bees, a temple dedicated to the God of wine, a house for an old woman, a hermitage for a hermit, a castle for a soldier ... El Capricho is a fairy tale full of esoteric and Masonic symbols, the fruit of the relationship that the Duchess had with the occult. During our visit we will unveil many of the innumerable secrets that the park houses, in an exciting story through which figures such as Francisco de Goya, the intimate enemies Antonio de Orleans and Enrique de Borbón (who challenged each other to a tragic duel for the Throne of Spain) or General Miaja, responsible for the Defense of Madrid during the Spanish Civil War and who ordered the construction of the surprising bunker that we will know from the surface.
