ItemImageMost (but not all) of the royal structures that King Phillip IV commissioned to occupy this area were destroyed in the Napoleonic Wars. Eventually, the space that was opened by this destruction was made available to the public, and now accomodates many appealing attractions. They include the world's only statue of Lucifer, a crystal (glass) palace, a rose garden, and an Egyptian fountain--all centered around a lake.

This park is fantastic. We visited on a Sunday and it was buzzing with people walking dogs, jogging, juggling, dancing, singing in a choir, practicing Tai Chi, sunbathing in bikinis and even 1 or 2 just watching the world go by, like us. The landscaped gardens, boating lake, statues and topiary really make this a special place to be in the heart of a great city.

We walked through the park again on a Monday morning and it was much quieter. As I sat on a bench in a quiet spot, caught some early sun and looked around, I thought that if you were going to propose to someone, then this would be the perfect place to do it.

A must do after you've been into the Prado museum
