A route is proposed from the top of the Madrid cornice to the River through an inhabited park and a route from Plaza de España to the Puerta de Toledo through a large Balcony and a Gallery.
This is a great opportunity for locals to look out onto the balcony of its Corniche, look at the River and go down to the shore.
It is the opportunity for this no man's land to be a fertile area for activities while maintaining its status as a green hillside and park.
