The City of Madrid launched its open-data portal, datos.madrid.es, in March 2014 with 74 datasets. It has since grown to roughly 670 datasets and over 10,500 downloadable files — among Spain's largest municipal catalogues — including real-time feeds such as traffic and air quality, published for free reuse under the city's open-data terms. A February 2026 redesign rebuilt it on the open-source CKAN platform with API access.
