Jardines del Buen Retiro


This week has been full of exploring... on Tuesday I went to the gardens of Buen retiro, well actually I had not planned to go here at all, I was just walking down the busy streets and noticed it looked rather nice and decided to walk through. Saying this seems like the gardens are rather small but this is not true, I spent almost 2 hours there and didn't get to see the whole park. First through an array of book kiosks and then you reach the gardens main grounds. The park is entangled with many pathways, sculptures and fountains. Among all this I found an interesting area for the seniors to enjoy... well I am not sure if its for enjoyment or not really... hmm well I can't seem to upload the video but I will try another time its pretty funny.

The end of the afternoon at the gardens was spent walking around the Great Lake. Here people can rent a small paddle boat and row around and feed the many goldfish. This was a very popular attraction. Lots of tourists around here!


Off for another busy weekend and then hopefully Barcelona on Monday!

As Gram would say: that's just wonderful!
