Dear sports fans,
Madrid is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and one of the most beautiful capitals on the planet.
It is a city where great football legends have been born.
One of them is the long-time captain of Real Madrid, Raúl González, who was born on June 27, 1977. Few people know that he began his career in the Atlético Madrid academies, as there were several Atlético fans in the neighborhood where he grew up. Information says that his father was also an Atlético Madrid supporter.
At the age of 15, he went to Real Madrid and wrote great history in golden letters in this team. He played over 700 games for Real Madrid and at the end of his career he played for FC Schalke 04, Al-Sadd and NY Cosmos.
San Cristóbal is the neighborhood where Raúl González was born and first played football. It doesn’t have any attractions, but Raúl’s aura always remains. The Spanish say it is a notorious neighborhood and that is why tourists do not visit it.
The legend of Spanish football and Real Madrid has never forgotten his roots. The residents of San Cristóbal always talk about everything Raúl has contributed to the neighborhood.
Children growing up in the area dream of someday becoming like Raúl González.
We do not recommend that you visit this particular neighborhood, but if you find yourself in the center of Madrid, then know that about 11 kilometers away is the area where the top Spanish footballer grew up.
