Islamic Cultural Center of Madrid is also commonly called as M30 mosque or Masjid M30 among us. It is because the mosque is located near the M30 expressway.
When I blogged about Madrid Central Mosque back in January 2013, I had some confusion where I thought there was only one mosque in Madrid. This was before I got married in September 2013.
The picture above is Islamic Cultural Center of Madrid and it is also a mosque. Not until I have arrived in Madrid that I know there are actually two different mosques!
One is Abu Bakar Mosque (Madrid Central Mosque) which is near Estrecho Metro Station, Line 1. You can read more about Madrid Central Mosque here.
Location
Islamic Cultural Center of Madrid is near to:
- Barrio de la Concepcion Metro Station, Line 7 ( on right of the map)
- Parque de Las Avenidas Metro Station, Line 7
Both metro stations are one station apart. Depending where you are from you could reach either of them first.
If you decide to walk from Barrio de la Concepcion Metro Station, you will find many halal shops but not from Parque de Las Avenidas.
However, the view from Parque de Las Avenidas is prettier. IMO. You will walk pass a bridge over the M30 expressway with view like this as in the picture.
Duration and walking distance is shorter though from Barrio de la Concepcion Metro Station.
Our visit to Madrid Islamic Cultural Center
Me and my husband most of the time frequent Abu Bakar Mosque for Friday prayer instead of Islamic Cultural Center because of the distance from our house. By metro it is more than one hour to here.

Assalamualaikum Kak Yatie,
Maafkan saya sangat2 sebab saya memang dah lama sangat tak tengok bahagian komen atas masalah teknikal blog tak bagi notification untuk komen.
Apa pun, tarikh 13 March 2020 tu terlalu jauh untuk saya confirmkan. Saya ada plan untuk pulang visit family kat Malaysia sekitar tarikh tu jugak jadi boleh tak akak PM saya dalam Feb 2020 supaya saya blh cfm skali lagi.
Terima kasih
As salamm Zarina, I am Yatie from Shah Alam. My friends and i, insyaAllah ber-6 atau ber-8 where 3 or 4 adalah muslim akan ke Spain & Portugal on 9 – 21 March 2020. Kami ber-6 dah beli tiket, tertinggal 2 orang yang masih contemplating.
Saya nak bertanya secara ikhlas kepada Zarina jika Zarina sudi membantu kami. Rancangannya begini:- pada 13 March 2020 which falls on a friday, kami yang muslim ini merancang nak ke the Madrid Islamic Center – maybe sebelah petang atau at least dapatlah solat berjemaah di sana. Saya nak tanya secara ikhlas dengan Zarina if you could bantu kami sebab ini adalah kali pertama kami ke Spain. Kami semua adalah rakan-rakan sejak zaman primary school, sejak berusia 7 tahun dan pada tahun 2020 ini kami berusia 55 tahun. Acara solat berjemaah di masjid ini adalah acara kami jika pergi melancung bersama rakan-rakan. We did the same in Krabi 2 years back & last year in Paris.
Now back to minta pertolongan Zarina. Wondering if it is too much to ask or if it is a lot of hassle if you help to pick us up from Espahotel near Plaza Espana and drive us to the Islamic Center, we spend sometime there, we go for dinner together & you help send us to our hotel safe & sound. Please quote me a cost for this. Please do not get offended with my request. It is a genuine request from a group of mussafir. Kalau Zarina tidak merasa selesa dengan permintaan ini, perhaps you could purpose to me, siapa yang boleh kami approach untuk memastikan kami mendapat laluan yang mudah untuk tujuan ke Islamic Center Madrid ini. Thanks so much Zarina for reading my message.
