This year’s edition of the event Madrid Otra Mirada will be devoted to the European Year of Cultural Heritage, with a special emphasis placed on the candidacy of the Paseo del Prado and Retiro Park as UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape sites. These days will be devoted to learning about all of the cultural, historical, artistic and architectural heritage existing in this great city, completely free of charge. The city government’s goal is to increase awareness about the very rich heritage possessed by the city, which is why visitors will be allowed to visit historical building that are usually closed to the general public all year long. Children can also take part in the event by enjoying kids’ activities that help them learn and know more about Madrid from a very early age.
