Templo de Debod

posted by vwyatt on 31 August 2011 at 11:09

Wow, I never knew there was a real Egyptian Temple in Madrid!! Shipped over in pieces when it was removed from Egypt to escape the Aswan High Dam flooding, it now occupies a stunning spot boasting views of the gardens towards the Palacio Real.

Retiro Park

I love heading here when I go to Madrid, it really seems like this is where the spanish like to spend their weekends and I can see why. Gorgeous park, and when the kids come too they can't get enough of the entertainment on a Sunday.

Metro Retiro

Parque del Retiro

posted by vbraun on 14 January 2011 at 14:53

I was lucky enough to spend a month in Madrid and now i'm home it's this park, and particularly the buzz in it at the weekends that I really miss and am struggling to replace. Loclas flock here at the weekends to walk, relax and enjoy themselves and street performers and musicians flock there too, making a great vibrant and fun atmosphere.

where, when, how, web
In the centre, just to the east, metro Retiro or you can also use Ibiza

Casa de Campo

posted by pclark on 26 October 2010 at 17:41

This is an enormous area of Parkland outside of the city centre. There's a lot to keep you entertained here with a zoo, a lake with boats for hire, a ferris wheel and rollercoaster and a zoo. The cable railway has great views over the park and the city and there is a guide to tell you what to look out for.

Take the Metro to Lago station

Palacio de Cristal, Retiro Park

posted by gosteen on 5 October 2010 at 16:36

My husband and I were wandering about this lovely romantic park and wandered over to explore this interesting looking building. Turns out, it was inspired by London's Crystal Palace and inside we found a good, if a little mad, modern art expo, and entry was free, always a good recommendation in my book!

where, when, how, web
Just by the Prado, you can walk from there or the nearest subway is Retiro
