Ciudad Lineal, Administrative district in northeastern Madrid, Spain
Ciudad Lineal is a district in northeastern Madrid comprising nine neighborhoods connected by wide avenues. The area follows an organized layout with a central axis and parallel streets that structure the different residential zones.
Architect Arturo Soria y Mata designed this district in the early 1900s as a solution for Madrid's urban expansion. His innovative plan with a central organizing axis influenced modern urban planning approaches in the region.
Each of the nine neighborhoods maintains its individual identity through local markets, community centers, and regular neighborhood gatherings throughout the year.
The district is well connected by metro to other parts of Madrid and easy to navigate on foot. The wide streets make it straightforward to explore the different neighborhoods and find your way around.
The headquarters of Iberia Airlines operates from Ciudad Lineal, making it a strategic location for Spain's aviation industry and international business connections.
