The temple was donated to Spain by the Egyptian government to save it from floods following the construction of the great Aswan Dam. Works on the temple began at the orders of the Meroë King Adijalamani, who built a chapel dedicated to the god Amun and the goddess Isis. This chapel was decorated with high reliefs.In the 20th century, owing to the construction of the dam, the Egyptian government gave the temple as a gift to the city of Madrid and it was transported and rebuilt stone by stone in its current location. It was opened to the public in 1972. The reconstruction in Madrid kept the building’s original orientation; that is to say, from East to West.- Official Tourism Website, MadridDuration: 5 minutesStop At: Parque del Oeste, Paseo Moret 2, 28008 Madrid SpainWith almost 100 hectares, this important green area was created in 1906 by Celedonio Rodrigáñez, agricultural engineer and director of the Department of Parks and Gardens. After the Civil War, his successor, Cecilio Rodríguez, rebuilt the park. The space has very original places such as the Teleférico (cable car), a ceramics school, a rose garden where an international rose competition is held each year, and the Temple of Debod.The park has a monumental and landscaped character with a general outline of English gardens featuring significantly different levels and winding paths with naturalist inspirations.- Official Tourism Website, MadridDuration: 5 minutesStop At: Casa de Campo, Paseo de la Puerta del Angel 1, 28011 Madrid SpainAt over 1,722 hectares, Casa de Campo is the largest urban park in Spain. Situated to the southwest of Madrid, the most common trees are holm oaks and pines, in the style of most meadows in the Castilian plateau.The importance of Casa de Campo rose when King Philip II of Spain moved the court to Madrid in 1561 and the royal residence was established in the old fortress, which stood on the site of the present-day Royal Palace. A keen hunter, the King wanted to have his court located close to a hunting ground. To honour his wish, he acquired the manor from the Vargas family and the adjoining lands as well. Two centuries later, King Ferdinand VI of Spain named Casa de Campo a Royal Forest. In 1931, under the Second Republic, the property passed from the Crown to Madrid City Council.- Official Tourism Website, MadridDuration: 15 minutesStop At: Parque Madrid Rio, Paseo de la Ermita del Santo 14 16, 28011 Madrid SpainMadrid Río (river) is one of Madrid’s major ecosystem-rebalancing projects. Part of the busy M-30 highway running parallel to the River Manzanares was buried underground, which resulted in a vast 10km-long park that both locals and visitors can enjoy.The renovation of the space has helped Madrid recover the health of the river.

Traveler Reviews

Un paseo que si tienes tiempo debes hacerlo..el sol las aves es muy hermoso. Ideal para amantes de las camknata y ciclismo

Le guide Alex est super et la ballade est super. Nous avons opte pour celle dans les parcs, je la recommande car ça change des monuments.

Un guide à vous conseiller, c’est bien Alex. Pour notre visite des parcs avec diaporama sur la ville, notre guide Alex s’est donné la peine de tout faire en français comme pour une visite privée et nous avons pris le temps d’une petite pose au lac pour prendre une boisson et tortilla.. retour via la ville Très agréable, petit relief de la ville pour éliminer quelques calories prises la veille...

Can’t recommend highly enough, a great tour, amazing and friendly guide. Great knowledge, raincoats and ponchos provided, and little bike bags attached so you don’t need to take a rucksack. Caspar took lots of pictures and shared them freely along with his local knowledge on restaurants and museums. If you want a bike tour you HAVE to book through Bravo Bikes! Thank you so much.

Bravo Bike company is the real deal! Locals led and local insights at every turn. Tour was the perfect mix of historic info, hidden spots, crazy great city views and delicious local cafe break. A++
