Deal overview
During the 16th and 17th centuries, a magnificent generation of artists gave rise to what was known as the Spanish Golden Age who, due to economic scarcity, were forced to live in the current Barrio de Huertas, on the outskirts of Madrid de los Austrias. This neighborhood is known as the Barrio de las Letras.
With this visit you will discover the funniest anecdotes of artists like Cervantes, Lope de Vega or Quevedo, their exciting lives and the personal relationships between them that were not always good. An example of this case was the public rivalry between Quevedo and Góngora.
Skirt messes? Power clashes? Busy lives? You will discover the answers to all these unknowns and much more in this fun literary route.
