The Manzanares Solar System Walk, inaugurated on September 10, 2010, is a unique proposal that arises from the idea of the Manzanares scientist Julián Gómez-Cambronero Pacheco (1959-2018). This tour offers us the opportunity to get to know the immensity of our Universe through a pleasant walk through the park. The ride is located in the Manzanares Polígono Park and is a scale model of the Solar System. Along the route, physical representations of the Sun and planets have been placed. The Sun is the point of origin, and from there, the planets are located at increasingly distant distances, following a scale that reduces the millions of kilometers of cosmic reality to meters.
