Deal overview
In the year 1630, the Count, Duke of Olivares gave King Philip IV a series of lands near the Jerónimos church to create a new palace and an area for recreation for the monarchy. Here beginsthe history of Retiro Park.
The park has undergone many reforms and modifications by the Bourbon kings, until reaching its current state. The pond, the Crystal Palace, the carriage ride, the parterre and the fallen angel are some of the best-known spaces in the Retiro.
But did you know that the Retiro hides many mysteries and legends behind its best-known corners? Did you know that a tree announced the attack on Alfonso XIII on his wedding day? Do you know that there are several trees with magical meaning in which rituals are performed? Did you know that a treasure from the 17th century is hidden in the park? Did you know that the fallen angel stands 666 meters above sea level? Or why there is an elf that walks through the park. You can discover all this and much with us during this very special visit.
We suggest you enjoy a walk through Retiro Park to discover its legends, mysteries, curiosities and anecdotes.

They have been very kind, patient and very competent. The boy who accompanied us knew a lot about the history of Madrid and it was obvious that he liked what he did. -
