ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
What to expect from Chamberí: The Neighbourhood That Refused to Be Demolished
Madrid once dynamited a bustling historic market with barely 48 hours' notice. For a century, the relentless march of progress has tried to erase the defiant Chamberí district. In this immersive adventure, you take on an unexpected role: you are a building . As the brick, iron, and soul of a neighborhood fighting for survival, you must track down an immovable fortress hospital, peer into a phantom subway station frozen in 1966, and uncover a massive sports palace hidden from the modern world. Decode the clues, or watch the memory of your streets fade into concrete forever. Will you stand your ground?
