Departure from IFEMA by bus to the monument dedicated to Cajal in the "Retiro Park". From there, always following the footsteps of Cajal, we will walk down to the nearby former Laboratory of Biological Research (1901 - 1932) and current Museum of Anthropology and fiinally, arrive at the "Antiguo Hospital San Carlos" - the old Medical School (located right next to the Illustrious College of Physicians and the former General Hospital - currently "Reina Sofia" Museum of Contemporary Art). We will then enter the "Aula Ramon y Cajal" where Cajal used to teach the first year medical students (well into the 1920s) histology along with his direct disciple Tello. There, we will have the opportunity to actually attend a (recorded) lecture delivered by Cajal himself.
The tour will include a half an hour slow-walk from the bus to the Hospital and a 10 minute walk from the Hospital back to the bus. |
