Parque El Calero’s paths wind through planted green space, offering a quiet break among the district’s streets.
Estimated journey times
Ciudad Lineal grew from Arturo Soria’s 1892 proposal to organize urban life along a long transport corridor. The plan combined public transit, housing and green space; only part of the original route was built. The district’s elongated form still reflects this distinctive chapter in Madrid’s planning history.
Parque El Calero, within the district, offers paths and planted open space among the surrounding neighbourhood streets. Its local scale contrasts with Soria’s ambitious citywide vision. Pair a park walk with the Arturo Soria corridor to see how a planned urban axis and everyday green space shape this part of Madrid.
