This Sunday, the Central Lechera Asturiana Women's Race in Madrid will lead to significant traffic disruptions and modifications to 45 EMT bus lines, impacting several districts of the capital.

The event, celebrating its twenty-second edition, will start at 09:00 AM from Paseo de la Castellana and finish at Paseo de Camoens. The race is expected to run approximately between 09:00 AM and 12:30 PM, covering routes through the districts of Chamartín, Chamberí, Salamanca, Centro, and Moncloa-Aravaca.
The nearly 6.5-kilometer route will gather up to 38,000 participants. Following the race, a fitness and aerobics festival will take place, along with musical performances. The Madrid City Council has deployed a special contingent of Municipal Police and Mobility Agents to ensure the safety and smooth flow of traffic.
For setup and dismantling operations, the central lane of Paseo de la Castellana, between Plaza de San Juan de la Cruz and Raimundo Fernández Villaverde, will be closed to traffic from 05:00 AM to 12:00 PM. From 08:30 AM, additional closures will be implemented at key points such as Plaza de Colón, Paseo de Recoletos, Plaza de Cibeles, Gran Vía, and Plaza de España, among others.
Roads will progressively reopen, with traffic expected to be restored in most sections by around 11:15 AM, except for the area affected by the dismantling of the starting line. The affected EMT bus lines include 001, 002, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 25, 27, 37, 39, 40, 44, 45, 46, 51, 52, 53, 61, 62, 74, 75, 133, 138, 146, 147, 148, 150, 158, 160, 161, 162, 164, 203, C1, C2, C03, and S10.
Public transport is recommended, with reinforcements planned for Metro lines 6, 7, and 8 between 08:00 AM and 09:00 AM. For long-distance private vehicle travel, using the M-30 and M-40 is suggested. Nuevos Ministerios and Gregorio Marañón Metro stations are near the start, while Moncloa and Argüelles are close to the finish line.
