    by SirRichard
    Faunia is a thematic zoo recently opened outside Madrid. They have several pavillions, each one dedicated to a determined habitat (Jungle, Poles, Desert, Night beasts...)
    It is a perfect place to spend a day in Madrid with kids, though it may be interesting for adults too.

    Entrance 20€ adults, 12€ kids. Under 3 free.

    ..don't bypass this pleasant diversion next door. Across the square actually. The Real Jardins Botanico, sure it costs an extra 1.50 euros but that just helps to keep the freeloading riff-raff out. Pick a shady spot and enjoy lunch. Aaaaahhhhh. This is Spain. Savor the moment. It is fleeting. ;-)

    El Prado is an exceptional museum, and sometimes you'll find impossible that you will ever get bored of walking down its hall, admiring masterpiece after masterpiece...though chances are that after a whole day doing that, you'll eventually be. So if you feel like giving your feet a rest, I'll suggest a visit to the Botanical Gardens, which are placed next to the museum.

    It is simply the most charming and beautiful garden of the city, a fresh place in which to spend a sunny evening and an absolutely lovely visit during spring, when Mother Nature wears its more spectacular colors.

    listen! you can alllmost hear
    it now...
    by morgane1692
    out on the sidewalk beside the Real Jardins Botanico and the Prado Museum, sat a lone accordianist, filling the air with the nicest sounds. It was a scene from some movie, I was walking, I heard quiet strains of music, I tried to follow them, determine their source, the music grew louder, until voila! there he was. I wanted to stay and listen longer...but then hehehe, the tunes began to repeat, and I knew it was time to head on over to the museum. This was however, another pleasant Spanish moment. Fleeting. Again. The best ones always seem to be.... ;-)

    Campo del Moro (the arab garden) is a hughe park situated at the food of Royal Palace. It was orriginally the place where the Arab army was located in the old days as in the 12 th century, later on it got cultivated and served as a gareden where the royalties let their children play. The park ws then build as acoording to the example of the English style of gardens. Its a very hughe complexand its open to public now.

    Gardens: Real Jardin Botanico
    jorgejuansanchez
  • By jorgejuansanchez on September 26, 2006
  • Madrid Page by jorgejuansanchez
  • This is a wonderful Botanical Garden in front of the Museo del Prado.
    It has thousands of exotic plants from the five continents, but mainly from America since the times when that continent was our colony.
    It was founded in the middle of the XVIII century by our king Fernando VI.
    In its construction participated artists such as Sabatini (the king architect) and Juan de Villanueva (the same that erected the Museo del Prado).
    Inside you will find pavilions, statues, fountains and nice promenades. The distribution of the plants follows the classification established by the Swedish naturalist Linneo (one of the most important botanist in History).

    2003 was not the best year for nature lovers, as it failed to rain for a very long period, water was subject to rationing in some areas.

    The botanical gardens in Madrid, much passed over by tourists because you have to pay an entry fee (1.50 Euro) were a little tatty looking, but the aromatic plants section was great and I loved the tropical greenhouse (and believe me, when it's 40? outside you've really got to WANT to go into a tropical greenhouse)

    Here is part of Madrid in her full glory.
    Me gusta mucho la vista aqui. One is looking out from the Palace to the surrounding area towards the centre or heart of the city.
