Madrid Río
Developed along an urbanized area on the banks of the Manzanares river is "Madrid Río," a spectacular urban park inaugurated at the beginning of the 21st century. It is considered one of the most beautiful and modern recreational parks in Europe.
Its development was handled by prestigious architectural studios, which carried out an ambitious project to redevelop and recover the banks of the river for the use and enjoyment of citizens.
This section, which was later baptized as "Madrid Río," was originally "boxed in" by the expressway of the M-30 ring road, which isolated the Manzanares river between two directions of the highway. It caused an unnatural separation in the city by isolating the districts of Arganzuela, Carabanchel, Latina and Usera.
Furthermore, the connection of the M-30 with the A-5 highway—the road that leads to Extremadura—separated Madrid in an impassable way from the largest park in the city, the "Casa de Campo." The ambitious "Madrid Río" project involved burying the M-30 throughout this area along with the section of the A-5 running parallel to "Casa de Campo."
This is one of the most important redevelopment projects in recent decades. Its aim is to achieve a complete connection of the city, bring its green areas closer to the population and improve their quality of life.
