A tried and trusted urban myth has it that many a Madrileño was conceived in these cable cars that have run the 3km or so out to Madrid’s biggest park since the 70's. But if that puts more than a glint in your bloodshot eye, rest assured, they’ll have cleaned the seats ! |

Our guide will take you to the west of Madrid city centre and you’ll sit in fours in the cable car. You’ll wobble out over the Casa de Campo park, and begin to appreciate the amazing views of the old capital and Arab settlement. |
