In the heart of Madrid, a self-guided ghost quest invites you to step into the shoes of Diego Velázquez — a centuries-old ghost drawn back for a Day of Reckoning. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you'll follow Velázquez’s search across 12 stops that trace the city’s historic core. Along the route you will pass Plaza de Santiago and Plaza Ramales, where his burial church once stood, move through Puerta del Sol and past the Museo del Jamón, walk by Teatro Español — the world’s oldest theatre — and end at the Velázquez monument outside the Prado Museum.
As you move through the streets, you will solve cryptic riddles, encounter royal ghosts in the story and piece together the mystery of a lost body. The experience is best after dark and a phone flashlight may help with clues. You will explore at your own pace and do not enter the venues visited during the quest. No prior knowledge of Madrid is required, making this suitable for history lovers, art enthusiasts and night explorers who want a reflective, atmospheric walk through the city.
