Since December, Madrid has closed the centre to traffic, so getting around by bike is one of the best ways of getting around the city centre without having to worry about the car and being able to discover every corner in the purest "Blue Summer" serie style.Although the capital may seem dangerous to get around by bicycle, there are more and more bicycle lanes in different areas and it is increasingly accessible and adapted to other means such as scooters. Cycling is not only a more ecological way of discovering Madrid in a different, fun and healthy way.

Towards bastard routes
Now that we're aware of what these powerful bikes have. We are going to recommend some routes where you can travel Madrid by bike in the coolest way and have a great time with family or friends.There are three routes you can do on a nice weekend day. We start with the Green Belt, which is one of the most important in Madrid. It has 60 kilometres divided into six national roads. By this route you will not go very far and you can access very beautiful places such as La Casa de Campo, Parque Juan Carlos I or Prado Museum.If you love nature and tranquillity, the Greenway route of the Tajuña River is your best option. In addition, with our bikes you will not damage the place that surrounds you. It is 49 kilometres long and runs between Arganda del Rey and Ambite. Within this route there are very interesting points that you can visit such as the Arganda Railway Museum, the remains of Perales Castle or the churches of the villages near the route.Finally, we have a smoother and more central route for you to take a tour of the surroundings near our hostel. It's 9 kilometres, but surely you'll marvel at what Madrid has to offer. The tour begins in the Plaza Mayor, then we head to Sun Square and here we can see the famous statue of the bear and the modroño. Then we go through the area of Cibeles and down the Paseo del Prado to Atocha. We turn to Alcalá, go to Gran Vía, pass by Bailén Street and return to our starting point.
