A stroll along Madrid Río

All pictures are copyrighted by me.

  Madrid Río is not the name of the small river, but of the project made to make it a nice place for a long walk, or bicycle tour.
The river itself is actually called Manzanares.

Want to take a swim?

One of the many dams

Another one of the bridges 

Looks more impressive (or sinister?) in black and white, right?
  
Not only families find this a nice place to rest

It is hard to believe you are in the center of a sprawling capital in Europe

Wis I had thought of that...

Well, if swiming is not too inviting, a quick shower can be arranged

The old slaughterhouse area beside Manzanares, has been converted into a cultural center well worth a visit.
Here is a exposition of child books illustrations. Just open the drawers and get carried away
