Ratón Pérez House-Museum in Madrid
Small, like its owner.Big, like your wonder.
The Ratón Pérez House-Museum is a one-of-a-kind place where culture, tradition and fantasy come to life in the heart of Madrid.
On the façade of Arenal 8
Here, inside a biscuit tin, in the Prast confectionery, lived Ratón Pérez, according to the tale Father Coloma wrote for the boy king Alfonso XIII.
The official home
A biscuit tin. A boy king. A story written for him.
Boy king Buby I has a wobbly first tooth. He writes a letter to Ratón Pérez, who visits him at night and turns him into a tiny mouse to take him home to Calle Arenal 8. That is how Father Luis Coloma told it in the tale he gave to Alfonso XIII.
