The Red Thread of Resistance Madrid Podcast Tour

Madrid is a city that refuses to be quiet. Beneath the tapas bars, the royal palaces, and the sunny plazas lies a fierce, bloody, and inspiring history of ordinary people fighting for their streets. Join Ian, a political historian, and Lucia, a local insider, as they peel back the postcard-perfect facade of Spain's capital. From the desperate civilian uprising of 1808 to the massive 15-M encampments, and from the dark, hidden basements of Franco's secret police to a reclaimed tobacco factory buzzing with modern anarchism, this tour reveals the true pulse of Madrid.
