Traveling sustainably in Madrid is easier than you might think. Start by exploring the city on foot or renting a bike, which you can do through Madrid’s public BiciMAD system. Many of the city’s best attractions, like El Retiro Park and the Royal Palace, are within walking or biking distance, making it easy to reduce your carbon footprint.
To support the local economy, stay in eco-friendly hotels or hostels certified by Green Key or similar organizations. Dining sustainably is also simple—many restaurants in Madrid, like Mama Campo, focus on organic, locally sourced ingredients. For shopping, explore markets like Mercado de San Fernando, where vendors promote sustainable practices and local products.
