Tour Almudena Cemetery (East Cemetery of Madrid)

Almudena Cemetery of Madrid Avenida Daroca nº90º, Madrid, Madrid, Spain

From @entretumbas (IG), in collaboration with Experimenta Madrid, we organize these guided tours of the Almudena Cemetery, whose real name is the Necropolis of the East of Madrid.

It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate, depressing, and/or systemic reasons, and I created this space where we can be with our truths, and hurts, around it all. Our monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to […]
