During Summer time
by Danalia
Lots of festivals in Madrid take a place during summer time (July-August).
Veranos de la Villa is the main one and the best way to learn more about it and about the fest locations is to check their web at:
www.esmadrid.com/veranosdelavilla
First tow weeks of August is a good opportunity to visit "La Latina" zone of Madrid, and enjoy there the local fest of Los Tres Santos.
The Tres Santos refer to (San Lorenzo, San Cayetano, La Virgin de laPaloma)
Parque de El Retiro.

Parque de El Retiro is Madrid's main public park. It has lots of shady paths and a large man-made lake to sit beside. The Palacio de Cristal and its fountain is just one of the picturesque sights in the park.
