About
Paseo de la Castellana is Madrid’s iconic and bustling thoroughfare, stretching 6.3 km from Plaza de Colón in the south to the M‑30 ring road in the north. A verdant spine lined with palms, stately buildings and coffee shops, it has evolved from a once‑riverbed to the heart of the city’s modern pulse. Along its length the avenue hosts landmarks such as the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the financial hub AZCA, the European Union headquarters, and a dozen embassy buildings. Whether you’re shopping in the upscale plazas of Salamanca, catching a match at the world‑famous football stadium, or simply strolling past historic palaces, this avenue offers a micro‑cosm of Madrid’s history, culture, and economy – a must‑walk for any visitor.
