October Bridge by bicycle along the Vasco-Navarro Greenway
A fantastic bicycle tour along the Vasco-Navarro Greenway that connects the cities of Vitoria with Estella, an obligatory stop on the Camino de Santiago.
Cerralbo Museum
At 17 Ventura Rodríguez Street, very close to Plaza España and the Temple of Debod, we find the Palace of the Marquises of Cerralbo. It houses a surprising museum, the Cerralbo Museum.
Fried Chicken of Ambassadors
But there is one dish that is genuinely traditional, and that we would have serious trouble finding anywhere else other than Madrid: gallinejas. There are not many places left dedicated to preparing them in the city, but there is one that stands out for its tradition and continuity.
The Circle of Fine Arts
The headquarters of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, designed by architect Antonio Palacios, has great architectural value. The building, located at the confluence of Alcalá and Gran Vía streets, stands out among the surrounding buildings for its monumental image.
Leopoldo Daza Building
This building, which was built between 1912 and 1918, is a good example of Carrasco-Muñoz's compositional and ornamental freedom. The location of the building on a fantastic corner of Príncipe de Vergara Street (its address is Príncipe de Vergara number 8) and Jorge Juan Street contributes to enhancing the eclectic style.
Palace of the Counts of Guevara
The Palace is in the neo-baroque style, a three-storey building with a ground floor, with turrets, railings and balconies, designed by Joaquín Pla Laporta. It is located at 8 Calle Santa Bárbara.
Church of the Sacrament, the Military Cathedral
The project was carried out by three architects: the Jesuit friar Francisco Bautista, Manuel del Olmo and Bartolomé Hurtado García, the latter of whom began the works and directed them until his death in 1698. Later, Andrés Esteban took charge of the works until their completion in 1744.
The Rosaleda del Parque del Oeste, the garden of Ramón Ortiz
The rose garden was built by the Villa's Head Gardener, Ramón Ortiz Ferré, and is located in the lowest part of the Parque del Oeste gardens, very close to the Estación del Norte and the Ceramics School.
Red Cross Hospital of San José and Santa Adela
The architect José Marañón y Gómez Acebo began the work in 1893. After his death in 1900, the work was continued by Daniel Zabala y Álvarez, who finished it in 1908, when the San José and Santa Adela Health House was already finished.
The Moratalaz Arena
Saenz de Oiza conceived El Ruedo as a great wall that provides a powerful feeling of isolation and protection, and that fulfills that function, isolating the interior from the noise of the M30.
The Joseph Bonaparte Tunnel, the royal passage
The Bonaparte Tunnel is located near Madrid Río, next to the Puente del Rey. The tunnel was designed and built by the architect Juan de Villanueva between 1809 and 1811 to connect the Casa de Campo with the Royal Palace.
