Madrid has all the attributes of a great capitol: museums and masterpieces, including Picasso's famous painting, Guernica, beautiful avenues, a royal palace, parks and economic dynamism. Paradoxically and fortunately, it hides other treasures, with a village atmosphere, charming neighborhoods, and the beautifully remodeled banks of the Manares River. Madrid is full of energy, and lives as much in the night as in the day. But in the morning it will offer herself to the runner, who will almost feel as if it is there for their sole pleasure.*Alternative route : the big loop is 13.5km. Central loop + west 11.5km (Debod Temple). Central loop + east 10.75km (Retiro Park). Central loop 8.8km (short tour without Debod temple nor Retiro Park)
