Madrid Río

When a section of Madrid's ring road was rerouted underground, this 10-km-long (6-mile-long) corridor, west of the Jardines del Campo del Moro (to the back of the Palacio Real), was transformed into a green haven along the Manzanares river. With thousands of young trees, grassy expanses, footbridges across the river, and even an urban beach, it is divided into several stretches (all the way to the Tierno Galván Park) with plenty of activities for kids. It’s a perfect place to stroll, jog, or ride a bike.
