30 routes — editor-walked, or clearly flagged until they are.

Walking routes across Madrid — the Habsburg lanes of Madrid de los Austrias, La Latina's Sunday tapas crawl, polyglot Lavapiés climbing uphill.

Madrid keeps European hours the way other capitals only pretend to — dinner at ten, the streets fuller at midnight than at six. Walk it and the reward is proximity: the Prado and Retiro's gravel avenues, then Barrio de las Letras, where the Golden Age writers feuded, then Malasaña, which never quite grew out of the 1980s. The light does the rest.

No leaderboards, no algorithm — just the walks the editor thought were worth your time, with notes on what to actually look at along the way.
