MADRID: Retiro Park, a green oasis in the “heart” of the city

Dear sports fans,

Madrid is a city that you will fall in love with at first sight. It has unique attractions, many museums with rare exhibits and above all a sporting aura.

At the same time there are places where you can relax and calm down from the intense rhythms of the Spanish capital.

Retiro Park is a green oasis in the “heart” of Madrid. More than 15,000 trees cause an explosion of wonderful emotions.

You will meet the oldest tree in Madrid which is the ahuehuete and it has been standing since the middle of the 17th century. You will also see classic Andalusian and Castilian gardens, places reminiscent of English or Japanese gardens,

The artificial lake, the unique sculptures, the impressive fountains, the statues, the Lucifer that represents the devil and is the only sculpture in the world, the Forest of Remembrance and the palaces that have been the architectural gems of the park since the 17th century.

Four centuries ago it was the royal garden and since 1868 it has been open to the public.
