Itinerary
Day 1
Afternoon e‑bike tour through Parque del Oeste and Moncloa ending at Templo de Debod for a romantic golden‑hour moment.
Meet at QIK Tours — check in, e‑bike fit & safety briefing
Arrive at the QIK Tours shop to sign in, collect e‑bikes, helmets and a quick safety briefing tailored for couples. Guides will confirm route and snack included.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early so staff can size helmets and adjust bikes while you relax together.
- Bring a light jacket — October evenings can cool quickly; staff will stow small bags while you ride.
- Tell the guide if you want extra photo stops (they’ll happily stage a quick couples shot).
Parque del Oeste — leafy ride and first stops
Gentle e‑bike ride into Parque del Oeste to begin exploring sculptures and green paths — a peaceful, car‑free stretch ideal for conversation.
Tips from local experts:
- Ride side‑by‑side where safe for easy conversation; guides will steer you to quieter paths away from foot traffic.
- Autumn colours are at their best in October — pause under big trees for soft, romantic light ideal for portrait photos.
- If you prefer a slower pace, ask the guide to keep to low‑assist e‑bike settings for a classic tandem feel.
Monument to Elena Fortún — bench statue for a quiet photo
Short stop at the bronze 'Celia' statue honoring the author Elena Fortún — a sweet spot to sit together and photograph a memory.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide to place you on the bench with the statue for a framed couples portrait.
- This spot is usually calm — great for exchanging a quick note or surprise small treats.
- The bench height is comfortable for most; if you need to sit while the guide talks, this is a good rest point.
Puerta de Madrid sculpture (Andreu Alfaro) — modern art moment
A quick stop at the stainless‑steel arches by Andreu Alfaro — sleek lines that frame the city for dramatic photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand between the arches for a dynamic silhouette photo at golden hour.
- The sculpture reflects warm light in autumn — face yourselves toward the light for flattering photos.
- If you enjoy modern art, your guide can give a brief context that makes the stop more intimate.
Monument to the Teacher — a quiet reflective pause
Small bronze sculpture celebrating educators — a gentle, contemplative stop to enjoy park calm.
Tips from local experts:
- This is a low‑traffic corner — a nice moment to slow down and enjoy a shared snack from the tour pack.
- Bench seating nearby offers a comfortable short rest for couples who prefer to sit rather than stand.
- If you have a favorite author or book, exchange a line from it here to create a personal moment.
The 'Grandfather' Atlas Cedar — a natural landmark
Admire the ancient Atlas Cedar — one of the park's iconic trees. Great for intimate photos beneath sweeping branches.
Tips from local experts:
- Lean against the trunk for a cozy photo; the tree’s scale makes you both look snug in pictures.
- Autumn leaf colour can create a carpet of gold — step carefully to keep shoes clean for evening plans.
- If either partner prefers minimal walking, this stop offers ample seating and shade.
Arroyo del Árbol 'El Abuelo' — framed photo opportunity
A short, picturesque creek area within the park — ideal for romantic candid shots and quiet listening to running water.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the guide to help set up a framed shot across the creek for a postcard‑style photo.
- Sound of water is soothing — close your eyes together for a minute to savor the moment.
- The ground can be damp in autumn; choose a dry spot to sit or stand for photos.
Monument to Infanta Isabel de Borbón — elegant marble sculpture
Visit the white marble monument honoring Infanta Isabel — a graceful, stately piece that pairs well with a slow stroll.
Tips from local experts:
- Step onto the nearby paved promenade and face the sunset for warm backlighting in your photos.
- The area has gentle slopes — easy to navigate on an e‑bike or on foot if you prefer to dismount.
- This is a quieter, less touristy spot — perfect for a whispered toast with bottled water included on the tour.
Mirador de la Montaña de Príncipe Pío — small panoramic lookout
Short climb (easy by e‑bike) to a local viewpoint with glimpses over western Madrid — a calm prelude to the main sunset stop.
Tips from local experts:
- Stand together on the viewpoint railing for a wide panorama; ask the guide for the best angle to capture the city and each other.
- This lookout is a quieter alternative to busier spots — good for a private moment before the main viewpoint.
- If comfortable, request a short history note from the guide — it adds romantic texture to the scene.
Templo de Debod — romantic golden‑hour viewpoint (special moment)
Arrive at the Templo de Debod viewpoint for an extended stop to watch the sky and city change colour. Time here is the tour’s romantic centerpiece — perfect for photographs, a quiet toast (included bottled water/snack) and relaxed conversation.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the guide to position you where the temple reflections appear — best for sunset portraits and soft backlighting.
- Use the stone steps as natural seating for an intimate snack; October light is warm but the air can turn cool — share a jacket if needed.
- Want a memorable photo? Ask the guide to take a wide shot with the temple and you both slightly off‑centre for a cinematic look.
Arco de Moncloa — monumental viewpoint visit
Short ride to the Arco de Moncloa for a dramatic architectural view and a different perspective of the skyline at dusk.
Tips from local experts:
- Position yourselves so the arch frames the skyline behind you for a classic Madrid shot.
- There are paved viewing areas — easy to stand together and take a moment to enjoy the cooling air.
- If you prefer less walking, remain on bikes nearby while the guide gives the short history and points out photo angles.
Faro de Moncloa — quick tower viewpoint (external visit)
Quick external stop to admire the Faro de Moncloa tower and city lights beginning to glow. (Tower interior may have separate opening hours; this stop is primarily for the panorama.)
Tips from local experts:
- If the tower is open and you want to go up, check with your guide in advance — ticket and timing may vary.
- Even from ground level, the tower makes for a striking backdrop for dusk photos; use it to silhouette each other.
- There’s a gentle slope up to the area — dismount if you’d like a slower approach and more time to lean close for photos.
Return to QIK Tours — bike drop off & debrief
Short ride back to the shop to return bikes, gather your belongings and receive local tips for dinner or a rooftop cocktail if you want to continue the evening.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask guides for a rooftop recommendation nearby for a nightcap — they know quieter, romantic terraces.
- Exchange contact details with the guide if you’d like custom route suggestions for a private stroll afterwards.
- Collect a quick printed map or digital note from the guide with suggested nearby dinner spots for a date night.
