    Beautiful gardens which can be found just below the Royal Palace, a friend recommended I go here but my first stop would have to be at a well known ice-cream shop just before the entrance... and devour it whilst walking through the gardens or just sit by a fountain in the grass and relax! That's exactly what I did anyway :P

    Jardines de Sabatini (Sabatini's Gardens) are situated nearby Palacio Real. These gardens were built where once were the studs. Do not miss this place, and take a walk along the wooded alleys.

    Los Jardines de Sabatini están situados junto al Palacio Real. Estos jardines se encuentran en donde antiguamente se encontraban las caballerizas. No te pierdas este lugar, y pasea por los umbríos caminos.

    Now that we're in the area, let's take a look at the charming gardens next to the Royal Palace. Developed by the Italian architect Francisco Sabatini, here you'll find the second loveliest sunset in the city (always according to my humble opinion). You may be guessing what the best sunset of the city is... just scroll up your browser window a little bit and you'll see it ;-)

    Besides the sunset, I also love the geometrical configuration of the garden itself. Walking across the garden always has a relaxing effect upon me. :-)

    If you're looking for a quiet, romantic getaway from Madrid's hustle and bustle, take a long stroll in the Sabatini Gardens (Jardines de Sabatini). Located next to the Royal Palace, the gardens are a tranquil and beautiful place. You'll find a pool, statues and fountains, with bushes and trees groomed in symmetrical geometric shapes.

  • Directions: The palace is located on the Calle de Bailén, in the western part of downtown Madrid, east of the Manzanares River, and is accessible from the Ópera metro station.

    This gardens from 1930 are at the side of the Royal Palace are in classic style.

    They are free entrance, not as the Campo de Moro that you have to pay 5 euros entrance (I can not say anything about them lol as I never been, hope I can do it in my next visit, and also Las Vistillas)

    In summer you can enjoy some teathers and concerts there.

    From here go in direction to Plaza de Espa?a, but do not cross the road, go under the road and follow the signs until you get into the Temple of Debod, or If you have not seen the Royal Teather and the plaza de oriente with its lines of Kings, this is the moment to do it

    Madrid is the last place one might expect to find an Egyptian temple, but here you are. It was a gift from Egypt for the help rendered by Spain to move its temples to higher ground to prevent being flooded after construction of a giant dam on the Nile. It is dedicated to god Debod, and is located within a block North from the Royal Palace. Inside there is a small museum.

    The Jardines de Sabatini (Sabatini Gardens) are to the north of the Royal Palace.
    Built in the 1930's on the site of the old Palace stables, they were designed by Sabatini.

    Situated on the north side of the palace, on the exact location where the old Royal Stables used to stand, the Sabatini Gardens are a perfect spot for a restful break during the exhausting sightseeing tours in Madrid. They offer spectacular views of the North façade of the Palace, vegetal mazes, sculptures, a small reflecting pond and tons of tranquility.

    The gardens are named after Sabatini, an Italian architect who contributed largely to the design of the Royal Palace. He became the King's favorite architect already in Naples, before he acceded as Charles III to the Spanish throne after the death of his brother Ferdinand VI. Oddly enough, Sabatini did not design the gardens (he had indeed designed the former stables that were replaced by the gardens, though).

    The Sabatini Gardens were actually laid down in the 20th century, after the model of the classical French gardens. Again oddly enough, Spain was a republic at that time, short before the outbreak of the civil war.
