Discover a Garden That Few Tourists Ever See — But No Traveler Forgets

Hidden in the northeast of Madrid, far from the crowds and noise of the city center, lies El Capricho Garden — a romantic 18th-century estate built for the Duchess of Osuna, and today one of the city's most exquisite hidden gems.

Most visitors to Madrid will never hear about it. But those who do are transported into a world of art, elegance, and quiet charm.

Why Visit El Capricho?

🌿 A Peaceful Escape
Unlike Retiro or Plaza Mayor, El Capricho is rarely crowded. Its calm atmosphere makes it the perfect setting for a slow-paced, reflective stroll — ideal for adult travelers seeking deeper beauty and meaning in their journeys.

🏛️ A Walk Through History
Commissioned in 1787, the garden reflects neoclassical ideals with a touch of fantasy. You’ll find Ionic columns, elegant fountains, romantic ruins, and secret pavilions — each with its own story and symbolism.

📷 Photography Heaven
From the stately Exedra to the meandering woodland paths, El Capricho offers an enchanting backdrop for photography lovers.
