Details

Madrid, Spain’s vibrant capital, stretches beyond historic squares and bustling plazas into unexpected natural retreats where urban energy intersects with green tranquility. Wonder Tours invites riders to navigate this dynamic blend on their electric bike journey through Madrid Río and Casa de Campo. This two-hour ride offers a gateway into Madrid’s lesser-seen open spaces, moving swiftly from the riverfront parkland to the city’s most expansive green area, all while powered by quiet, eco-friendly electric assistance. The route traces the course of Madrid Río, a reclaimed river park that spans over 10 kilometers, passing beneath iconic bridges and alongside riverside gardens. Riders glide through trails that wind past the historic Arganzuela footbridge—a marvel of modern steel architecture—and catch sweeping views toward the Royal Palace from the water’s edge. The ride then opens into Casa de Campo, Madrid’s largest urban park, once a royal hunting ground with dense woodlands, open meadows, and panoramic city vistas. This natural oasis, spanning more than 1,700 hectares, offers a mix of rugged and gentle trails beneath maple and oak canopies. It’s a refreshing escape from the city’s concrete grid where locals gather for weekend hikes, picnics, and cycling. Wonder Tours’ electric bikes make intermediate distances accessible, inviting visitors of varying fitness levels to experience the park’s scale and diversity without exhaustion. Their eco-conscious approach aligns with Madrid’s growing commitment to sustainable tourism and urban green spaces. This trip stands out for integrating technology with nature, pairing modern electric mobility with Madrid's unique blend of heritage landmarks and vibrant outdoor spaces. Whether you’re eager for a dose of local flora and fauna or a fresh perspective on Madrid’s landscape, this electric bike tour offers a balanced, engaging adventure just minutes from the historic city center.
