Carlos provided a fascinating walking tour of Madrid spy lore was complete with many choice flashes of humor. Our family ages 20-82 were all captivated. The focus was primarily WW2 but included information up to present day. Highly recommend!

Very nice tour with Carlos, who knows a lot from the spies time in Madrid. He clarifies me so much about the role of Spain during both world wars and after them in the intelligence world. He is very illustrated and also give us pictures that reflect the old Madrid and the places that does not exist anymore. Thanks Carlos. For sure I will repeat in the close future the tour.
