El Retiro Park, located in Madrid, is a stunning 125-hectare park filled with green oasis and interesting monuments. Visitor can embrace the Spanish culture by visiting the velazquez palace and Glass palance which now serve as exhibition halls for museums or marvel at nature by taking a stroll around the lake and exploring the Monteczuma Cypress tree which is said to have been standing there since the 1630s. Guest can also partake in sports activities like biking and rowing boat rides while exploring the many gardens and sculptures throughout the park. At El Retiro Park visitors can easily spend a day honoring its Spanish history while relishing in its natural beauty.
