Through your guide, you will discover the artist’s masterpiece: Guernica, the secrets and symbols hidden behind this internationally recognized icon of art, as well as the process of making it and the transcendental story behind the work. Its interpretation creates controversy and debate, as there are several symbolic figures that arouse disparate opinions.

It is considered an icon of the 20th century, a symbol of the terrible suffering that war inflicts on human beings. Critic Robert Hughes said of Guernica that it was “the last great historical painting”

Highlights of Toledo in 5 hours - This tour is comfortably scheduled to fit it into a day trip from Madrid. We decided to travel to Toledo with the train, so a 9:20 departure from Madrid-Atocha station got us to Toledo with plenty of time to find our way to the main square where the tour started. Juan was a very congenial guide, switching easily between Spanish and English to accommodate his eight guests. The monuments included were interesting enough, but the highlight came on the afternoon tour of the cathedral with Olga. What a stunning building, and Olga did a great job, speaking as rapidly in English as she did in Spanish :-).
With time on our own for further sightseeing and shopping, we were back in Madrid by 18:00.
