We have organised a treasure hunt with explanations and various challenges to help you discover the Madrid de los Austrias area. This area is part of the city's historic centre.

Madrid has been the capital of Spain since 1561, when Philip II made it so.

The streets and buildings bear witness to the presence of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty in our city.

We were welcomed at Alcobendas Town Hall. In the plenary chamber, the councillor for culture welcomed us. We felt as if we were councillors ourselves, sitting in their seats in the chamber where decisions affecting our town are made, as European citizens participating in the political life of our municipalities.

Today, we visited the Prado Museum, widely regarded as the world's finest art gallery. Its collection consists of works of art that belonged to the Spanish monarchy. The Habsburgs were avid collectors of art, and this collection is testament to their interest in painting and sculpture from the Golden Age.

The mirillas (peepholes) are located in the ceilings of the arcades. The ground floors of the houses were used for businesses, while the upper floors were used as living spaces. Through these small holes, the owners could see who was at the door.

Back at school, we did a treasure hunt to prepare for our visit to El Escorial. And to finish off the morning, we enjoyed a card game about the Spanish and German Habsburgs.

First of all, we met everyone at the high school at 8:30. We started with a little ice breaking activity where we learnt about each other and had fun. After that, we gave our guests a little tour around our high school to show them around. At 10:30 we had to be at the town hall to meet the town councilor, and he gave a little speech before giving us some gifts. We stayed in the room for a bit and took some pictures there. When we came back to school, we prepared our trip for the Escorial, and played some card games with cards of the royal families.

The street's name comes from the Spanish version of the surname Függer, that of a German family of financiers, perhaps one of the founders of capitalism. Originally from Augsburg, by the end of the 15th century they were already among the leading merchants in Europe. Their rise to prominence came with Jakob II, who, among many other things, financed the election of Charles V as emperor. His son Anton was the official financier of the emperor and Philip II, who granted him commercial concessions and a share of the profits from the gold brought from America; by the mid-16th century, he was the richest man in the world. It was on this very street that the Függer or Fúcares family had their Madrid home.
