Stream Walk in Parque del Oeste

Highlight • Trail

With an area of nearly 100 hectares, this important green space is located between the A Coruña highway, the University City and the Moncloa area. The park was born on the initiative of the mayor of Madrid, Mr. Alberto Aguilera, in 1906, and was the work of Celedonio Rodrigáñez, an agricultural engineer and director of the City Council's Gardens and Plantings. After the civil war, his successor in office, Cecilio Rodríguez, was in charge of rebuilding the park.

Bridge of the French

Highlight • Bridge

The Puente de los Franceses (French Bridge) is an imposing historic arched bridge, built of brick and granite, that spans the Manzanares River with five distinctive semicircular arches. It was erected between 1860 and 1862 and owes its name to the French engineers who designed it.
