Madrid has introduced several cultural initiatives focused on celebrating its urban identity and visual heritage. In the Moratalaz district, the ‘Muraltalaz’ project utilizes urban art to decorate public buildings, involving international artists to transition graffiti from a penalized activity to recognized municipal art. Simultaneously, efforts have been made to highlight the historical significance of the Schweppes neon sign on the Edificio Carrión. Following the introduction of the ‘Bajo el Neón de Schweppes’ project, which explored the sign’s role as a symbol of the city’s landscape through expert discussions, a new guided tour titled ‘Neón Colosal de Schweppes: las historias por iluminar’ was launched. Led by cultural journalist Eugenia Bugallal, this tour uses the 1972 ~~sign~~ sign—which was recognized as a historical sign by the City Council in 2010—as a focal point to examine the architectural and social history of Gran Vía. The initiative aims to move beyond the street’s commercial image to uncover the urban transformation and human stories hidden behind the avenue’s famous facades.
