With its immense dimensions of 1.700 hectars this park west of Palacio Real covers almost half of Madrid?s green expanse. This big natural area is covered with oak trees, pines, plane trees and many meadows for a family picknick.It is a rather good idea to leave the busy streets and hop on the cable car ?Teleférico? starting from Paseo del Pintor Rosales, Metro Argüelles and leads you into the heart of the park. On the cable car you have a fantastic view of Madrid. Obviously the park is so popular that in summer it could be unpleasantly crowded, especiall on the weekends.
