 Mighty Piruli :-p by agarcia The fact is that after living all my live in the same city, the possibility of discovering new places by chance is still open. A remarkable fact that, in a way, forces me to be alert whenever I'm walking any "unknown" neighborhood of Madrid. Which is exactly the case with Fuente del Berro Park, a place situated near the main telecommunications antenna of the city (see picture), an area that I had always imagined as a suburban and boring one, but that just happen to have a delicious park, with a charming lakes, free peacocks and a fountain which waters had healing qualities (or so the local people affirms). The nearest Metro station is O'Donnell. Leave a Comment

Recently, I have dropped to the Botanical garden in Madrid. It seems a small park from outside and it is not as big as the Retiro park (the main park inside the city) but keeps beautiful paths and floral sides. Besides, the exterior gardens has also a lovely collection of bonsais, cactus and I think also, some orchids too. It is one of my favourite´s places in Madrid as you know I like to photo botanical patterns. At this time, there are colourful flowers blowing up and nice smeelings too. I have taken lots of pictures last time but need to be devloped so I guess, you should wait for a bit. In the mean time will give you the web address so you can check it, if interested.

 Almudena Cathedral viewed from Las vistillas park by agarcia Between La Almudena Cathedral and San Francisco el Grande Church, lays the beautiful and surprisingly underrated park of Las Vistillas, a name that could be translated as something like "small views", though the things that could be seen from there had little of small. Indeed, I personally found the perspective of La Almudena much more imposing from this point that from the feet of the building... all of them in a relatively quiet environment with little traffic and plenty of green areas. Definitely not a bad place to be in :-) Not to be missed is the simply spectacular summer terrace that could be find on the top of the park; enjoying a drink while witnessing a sunset over the Cathedral could be accounted, imho, among Madrid’s finest attractions. The park could be found between Calle Bailen and Calle Segovia, in La Latina district. Metro La Latina or Opera. Leave a Comment

 Parque eva peron by vanessadb Madrid is full of beautiful parks, other than the renown Retiro. Every neighborhood has one or several parks, which turn into the social center during late afternoon/early evening; all the neighbours, young and old come to socialize, play, chat, etc... I would definitely recommend a visit at one of the many parks to have a taste of the madrilean family lifestyle, as well as to rest and enjoy their peaceful beauty. This picture is of the Parque Eva Peron on Francisco Silvela street in the Salamanca neighborhood. Only one brave old man had ventured in the 40 degree (celsius) afternoon heat, except for me me of course, due to the early afternoon heat.... Leave a Comment Other Contact: Metro: Manuel Becerra

 Jardin colgante romantico Palacio de Anglona by agarcia I was just walking along La Latina district, looking for fresh pictures for my photography class, when I found the place that I was not looking for; a place that I wanted to be shown, rather than discover it by mere chance. In any case, I recognize the good taste and "fine nose" of the person who pointed to me first about this oasis of serenity in the heart of Madrid most vibrant district. Again, is because these hidden treasures why I love this city so much. :-) Leave a Comment Other Contact: Plaza de La Paja. Metro Latina

 Lunch at the Park by agarcia Yet another little known charming park in Madrid ;-) This one has the particularity of being quite near from my office, so as soon as the Sun spreads its rays over Madrid, the temptation of changing the business meetings for a sandwich in the park is almost irresistible. I took this picture some weeks ago, when we actually enjoyed springtime weather in the middle of the Madrilian winter. The almonds were flourishing, the atmosphere was fragrant, the sky was of an impossible blue... pretty much romantic, you know ;-) Leave a Comment Other Contact: Metro Suanzes (Line 5)

 Verona (dog) doing some gardening by chetverona In the west corner of the city there is the "Parque del Oeste" (West Park). It's green year-round, very well kept with flowers, an artificial creek and pond, and many people relaxing, exercising, walking dogs, in love, drinking or playing music, etc. It is never crowded (like the Parque del Retiro tends to be). Get off the subway at Moncloa station and take the exit "Intercambiador", cross the street and you're there. Once you hit the park walk left. It's big so don't just see the first part (which is the most crowded). Leave a Comment
