About this tour
Pedal through Madrid's most recognisable quarters on a three-hour guided ride with Benja, stopping for photos at each landmark. You'll roll past Gran Vía's architectural gems, cruise through Retiro Park, glimpse the Prado, wander Las Letras' narrow lanes, grab a bite at San Miguel Market, take in Plaza Mayor's buzz, then finish at a hilltop viewpoint overlooking the Cathedral and Royal Palace. Benja shoots professional stills at every stop—you leave with curated images, not just memories.

What to expect
You'll set a moderate pace—quick enough to cover ground, relaxed enough to soak in detail. Benja offers context at each halt: architectural quirks on Gran Vía, park history by the lake, market lore at San Miguel. Expect traffic on main roads and crowds at popular spots, especially mid-morning and early afternoon. The final climb to the viewpoint is gentle. You'll spend roughly 30–40 minutes pedalling, the rest pausing, listening and posing for the camera. By day's end you'll have a handful of professional-standard photos plus a working knowledge of Madrid's central spine.
