The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become an iconic symbol for the city of Madrid. It sits at the intersection of Calle de Alcalá, Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado. Plaza de Cibeles was originally named Plaza de Madrid, but in 1900, the City Council named it Plaza de Castelar, which was eventually replaced by its current name.
The Puerta de Alcalá ("Alcalá Gate", from the Arabic word القلعة al-qal'a, "citadel") is a Neo-classical monument in the Plaza de la Independencia in Madrid, Spain. It is regarded as the first modern post-Roman triumphal arch built in Europe, older than the similar monuments Arc de Triomphe in Paris and Brandenburg Gate in Berlin
The Buen Retiro Park (Spanish: Parque del Buen Retiro, literally "Park of the Pleasant Retreat"), Retiro Park or simply El Retiro is one of the largest parks of the city of Madrid, Spain. The park belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century, when it became a public park.

Andrea who was our guide tells every part of the ride with a love and professionalism that catches you with every story.... The walk is MUST for all audiences, in touch with history and the outdoors!
Very crowded route for a fair bit of the ride. Likely typical Saturday ride but makes it challenging when had to maneuver through pedestrians.
Pablo, my bike tour guide, was wonderul. I am so glad I signed up for this trip. It was fun and I learned a great deal about the park. Pablo was very knowledgable and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone interested in getting out on a bike in Madrid.
A nice tour of Madrid to the Retiro Park. Office staff very friendly and available. Also our guide, Pablo, very competent.
My family and I really enjoyed the experience. Even though we were from Madrid we knew Madrid in a new way and from another perspective. It is a pleasure to ride around Madrid by electric bike and even more so in some as comfortable and practical as those of Madrid Bike Tours. The tour was guided by Vasili, an excellent guide who despite being a foreigner knows Madrid in detail and infects you with his passion for the capital. We liked the first one so much that we have already repeated two more times.
Muchas gracias por la reseña y tu tiempo!
