Barajas is reviving a historic venue for its cultural events. From May 15 to June 13, the Alameda de Osuna Castle Park will host the first edition of Las noches del castillo. This program will feature concerts, outdoor movies, and circus performances—all free of charge.
The initiative will take place in the vicinity of a former 15th-century military fortress. To renovate this site, the Madrid City Council has invested 1.6 million euros. These renovations have improved pedestrian access and incorporated new vegetation into the area.
