My name is Eugenia Bugallal, and I guide history tours in Madrid as well as private events for companies. I invite you on a journey through time that will surprise, entertain, and transport you to another era. As a native Spaniard with experience living in Boston and London, I offer a unique perspective on Spain’s rich cultural history.
History Tours in Madrid — After Which the Word Madrid Will Never Sound the Same
We live in a complex moment. There are more than 58 active conflicts in the world — the highest number since the Second World War. As a result, I started looking at history differently. Specifically, through biography. That is, through the origins, personalities and circumstances that shaped each person.
At Spanish Balcony, we identify overlooked figures, researching their trajectories and documenting them from a humanitarian perspective. We document their lives — origins, peculiarities, and pressures — with the care one might reserve for a family heirloom.
Tributes from our travellers
“I have learnt many details in the “Signature tour” that are vital for imagining early 20th-century Spain, and at the end of the tour my historical view of Spain and its figures, especially women, has been enriched”
Zofia Romaniec (París, France)
“At Eugenia’s suggestion, we tried a typical Spanish cheese and wine tasting in a renovated 19th-century mansion, an incredible experience full of interesting facts that my family thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely recommend Spanish Balcony.”
Ietje Klaver (Amsterdam, Holland)
“My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Eugenia because she brought us closer to crucial events that help us understand the current situation in Spain. We laughed and had a great time”
Pierre (Berlin, Germany)
“I was very fortunate to be able to attend an event where Eugenia presented the biography of two queens, and it was an absolute delight. Afterwards, we enjoyed a typical period meal, and we will definitely be returning to future events she organises
Asunción González Berdejo (León, Spain)
