Silver Age Madrid, 1925
Madrid in 1925 is a city stretching its nineteenth-century grid into a new modernity: the Gran Vía cleaves through older streets, the Metro hums beneath, and the Residencia de Estudiantes gathers poets and filmmakers. Walkers will pass emerging skyscrapers, crowded cafés where tertulias meet, theatres and the familiar plazas and parks of the historic city.
37 scenes — 23 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Madrid as it stood in 1925 (“History of Madrid”).
