What to do and see in Madrid, Community of Madrid: The Best Gardens

May 18, 2022 Timmy Ribble

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

The Fundación Juan March organizes, each year, at least two art exhibitions, around 150 concerts and more than a hundred conferences. Access is free of charge. The Fundación's research library is open to researchers on these areas:contemporary Spanish theatre and music, illusionism and curatorial studies. There is also a restaurant-cafeteria, and a sculpture garden with a public library with free access to around 1,000 books.

William Morris was one of the prime leaders of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England and the Juan March Museum had many of his designs in fabrics, wallpapers, and furniture. This is one of the best exhibitions that I have seen in this museum.

The Old House, The Casino, the Swan Pond, Baco´s Temple, the Palace, all surrounded by beautiful and all different gardens full of green grass, a great variety of trees, and flowers. Certainly, a "must" to visit and relax.

I sometimes walk through here to look at the Berlin wall. There are some lovely trees, plenty of benches and it is very well kept.
