The tour begins at the Cibeles Fountain, a symbol of Madrid, where you'll discover its history and importance to the city.
From there, you'll head down Gran Vía, an artery that forever transformed the city. This iconic avenue, the result of an ambitious modernisation project, became a showcase for styles such as eclecticism, art deco, rationalism, and modernism. Along the way, you'll admire emblematic buildings and historic theatres that witnessed Madrid's cultural splendour, reviving the vibrant atmosphere of the early 20th century.
Next, you'll reach Callao Square, the epicentre of entertainment and cinema, whose avant-garde architecture reflects the cosmopolitan spirit that embraced the city during those years of change.
The route ends at the Temple of Debod, a gift from Egypt, which offers one of the most beautiful views of Madrid and connects the distant past with modernity.
You'll travel back in time, thanks to digital reconstructions and historical anecdotes, and learn how Madrid transformed from a 19th-century city into a modern and vibrant metropolis.
