Traveler reviews
Mariel Lozano
★★★★★5 months agoI remember coming to this park 5 or 6 years ago during the almendro bloom and it was nice and quiet. Now bwcause if social media exposure it is PACKED with people especially on the last weekend of February/first weekend of March. It is still very beautiful and you can still find some quiet spots. I recommend going mid week in the morning/afternoon.
Trisha Reños
★★★★★3 months agoI was in awe the first time I discovered this park. Literally!One of the best parks in Madrid. Not so known, but definitely a good place to visit, and stop to, to read, to have some picnic, to walk and play with your dog/s. Doing my quick rounds around here from time to time, and I must say, it always helps me clear my mind. ✨️
