Madrid at its calmest.

El Retiro: Madrid’s Royal Garden Turned Public Paradise

Right in the center of Madrid, where the city hums with life, there’s a peaceful escape: El Retiro Park. Once the private garden of Spanish royalty, today it’s a 300-acre haven filled with tree-lined promenades, fountains, sculptures, and even a palace made of glass.

Our Private Retiro Morning Experience is specially designed for senior travelers, couples, or families looking to enjoy Madrid’s green side in a calm, cultural, and memorable way.

What’s in a Morning Walk Through El Retiro?

Duration: 2 to 2.5 hours
Pace: Slow, flexible, and fully tailored

Highlights include:

• Statue Walk (Paseo de las Estatuas): Learn stories of Spanish kings — glorious, forgotten, and scandalous — while walking beneath aligned trees.

• The Big Pond (Estanque Grande): Rowboats, flamenco guitarists, and one of the best morning photo spots near the Alfonso XII monument.

• The Rose Garden: In bloom in early summer, it’s a perfect pause before spotting peacocks near the Fisherman’s Cottage.

• Crystal Palace: A 19th-century glass and iron marvel, often hosting Reina Sofía’s rotating art exhibitions — peaceful, elegant, and unforgettable.

Cultural touches along the way:

• Romantic ruins

• Poets’ busts

• Hidden fountains

• Local street artists

Optional Add-On: Breakfast in the Park

Take a relaxing break at one of the park cafés with:

• Traditional churros and hot chocolate

• Toast with tomato and Iberian ham

• Fresh orange juice and espresso

A simple pleasure that becomes a favorite memory.
