Walk Through Retiro Park
Retiro Park is more than just a green space—it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and a hub of Madrid’s cultural and social life. On a walking tour, you’ll explore its most famous landmarks, like the Crystal Palace, a stunning glass pavilion perfect for photos, and the Great Pond, where you can watch rowboats glide by.

Along the way, hear fascinating stories about the park’s royal origins and its transformation into a public space for all Madrileños.
Taste Tapas Delights in La Latina
