The capital of Spain is a large metropolis with all kinds of modern urban transport, but not all visitors know that in Madrid there is also a tourist variant of transportation - a funicular (Teleferico).
The cableway in Madrid was built almost half a century ago in 1969 by specialists of the Swedish company Von-Rol, thus connecting by air the very center of the city with the largest park Casa de Campo , where one of the best zoos in Spain is located. It is kept in proper form, strictly observing preventive examinations and works, therefore in the 21st century Teleferico meets the most modern safety requirements. In addition, this is an important entertainment excursion route.
