The El Retiro Park is one of the biggest parks in Madrid. This Buen Retiro Park in Madrid is approximately 350 acres and is located close to the city center. We decided to visit the park after passing it on our way to the Prado museum which is less than a ten minute walk from the park. The Atocha train station is also close by the park and we were staying in the neighbourhood.

I have previously touched on it in a previous post. I can say without a doubt that it is one of my favourite parks in the world. The colours seem to be exaggerated and the wide open spaces made me want to burst out singing like Maria in “The sound of music”. The place makes you feel good to be alive. Make time to check it out if and when you visit Madrid.
