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.

Our day in New Delhi with a native included seeing India Gate in New Delhi.

How to spend a day in New Delhi with a local: We decided to do some sightseeing during our visit to India as it provided some welcome relief from the hospital appointment filled days. I was definitely not interested in living like a local by taking a bus or one of those death on 3 wheels tuk-tuks to get around (apart form clinic appointment runs). No thank you. Perfectly happy to ride in a very new, air-conditioned SUV driven by a competent driver :-).

[the_ad id=”13767″]

We had no idea what we wanted to see or eat.  It just had to be Indian cuisine. We therefore chose to let the driver decided on our New Delhi day itinerary. As we had already visited Humayun’s tomb, that was off the table. Here are the places he chose to show us to on our day in New Delhi.
