Walks in Madrid
Madrid señorial: el barrio de Salamanca y la Castellana, de la Puerta de Alcalá al Museo Lázaro Galdiano
Una iglesia bizantina, la puerta de Carlos III, el palacio del marqués que se arruinó levantando un barrio, la Dama de Elche, unas torres colgadas del cielo y un museo bajo un puente: la arquitectura del Madrid elegante
La Gran Vía de Madrid: cien años de cúpulas, cines y rascacielos
Del Edificio Metrópolis al Templo de Debod: la avenida que Madrid abrió a golpe de piqueta en 1910, con su primer rascacielos, sus palacios del cine y un atardecer egipcio como final
The Marquis Who Built a City: Madrid's Salamanca District & the Castellana
From a banker's palace on Recoletos through the 19th-century grid he went broke building, past the Lady of Elche and a mermaid hanging from a bridge, to Sorolla's sunlit garden
Is Madrid walkable?
Madrid's central core is exceptionally pedestrian-friendly, with extensive pedestrianised zones between Sol, Gran Vía, and the Royal Palace. The city has gentle slopes between the palace bluffs and Lavapiés, but walks are designed at an easy, leisurely pace.
Do routes include food stops?
Several routes explore castizo food traditions in La Latina, Mercado de San Miguel, and Huertas. Stops explain the history of vermut on tap, cocido madrileño, and historic taverns. You can pause the audio anytime to step inside for tapas.
What languages are the Madrid walks in?
The collection includes routes in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Russian. Each route is authored by locals with unique thematic angles rather than generic translations.
How much do the Madrid walks cost?
