The Spanish in Budapest: audio walks

Spanish connections in Budapest appear when histories often told separately are brought together. This theme gathers the catalogue's links and places them within wider city walks. The routes approach those people and episodes in context, recognising the connection with Spain while keeping the surrounding local history firmly in view throughout the walk.

In “Buda Castle”: Beatrice of Aragon adds a Spanish connection to the palace stories and the people of the Castle District.

In “The Jewish Quarter”: Then the rescuers: Lutz and his angel, and Sanz Briz, the man from Aragon who rented houses under the Spanish flag without asking Madrid's permission.

In “The Spanish Houses of Budapest”: Then you walk past the houses that Spain's legation, led by the young Spanish diplomat Ángel Sanz Briz, declared its own territory in 1944: in one of them lived a fourteen-year-old boy who, as a historian, would later publish the list of those protected.
