Seek out La Alameda's Castle, a restored fortification in Madrid's quieter Barajas district. Walk the grounds, read the on-site information, and look for the nearby Civil War bunker.
Full description
La Alameda's Castle is a small restored fortification in Madrid's Barajas district, away from the main tourist circuit. Visitors enter free and find well-maintained grounds, a visitor centre, and clear signage explaining the site.
Reviewers note you cannot get very close to the structure itself, and recommend looking out for the Civil War bunker nearby. It suits travellers who want something off the beaten path, with enough information on site to make a short visit worthwhile.
Opening days are limited, so check before going.

It’s free! Whether you’re visiting for its architecture or its atmosphere, it’s definitely worth experiencing. Pity you can’t get closer. Look out for the The Civil Bunker!
