We will be able to experience through virtual reality how Madrid was in the past through a four-stage tour in which you will be accompanied by an expert guide to discover all the curiosities and stories of the capital.

1. We will start our route in front of the Cibeles Fountain, next to the Madrid City Hall, an iconic point of the city, where the majestic fountain dedicated to the goddess Cibeles is surrounded by emblematic buildings such as the Cibeles Palace and the Bank of Spain. Who was this goddess? Who are the lions pulling her chariot?

2. We will walk along Madrid's most vibrant artery, Gran Vía, known for its modernist and Art Deco architecture. Admire iconic buildings such as the Metropolis Building and the Telefonica Building. The opening of this avenue completed in the 1960s represented a change in the urban structure of Madrid, connecting important points of the city and improving circulation. Do you already know the sculptures that crown the rooftops of Madrid?

3. We will make a stop at Callao, a historic and lively square that connects the Gran Vía with the commercial heart of Madrid, where you can enjoy a short break to see the Carrión building with its famous Schweppes sign and learn first hand about the origin of this square. Here you can enjoy a brief pause to contemplate the Carrión building with its famous Schweppes sign and learn first hand about the origin of this square. What is Callao named after? Do you know the last battle we had against the colonies?

4. Continue to the Plaza de España, this large and renovated space is flanked by skyscrapers such as the Torre de Madrid and the Edificio España, and adorned with a monument dedicated to Miguel de Cervantes. Here you will learn about Spain's golden century and how Madrid has grown in size up to the 20th century from a very special perspective, from a bird's eye view!

5. Finally, we will finish our tour in this ancient Egyptian temple, located in the Cuartel de la Montaña Park, the Temple of Debod, considered the oldest monument in Madrid with more than 2,200 years old. From here, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the sunset, while the sky is tinged with golden tones and the temple is reflected in its ponds.

This route is perfect for lovers of architecture, history and urban landscapes who are looking to experience the essence of Madrid in an unforgettable walk, come and join us for the imageen experience!
