I'm not usually someone that likes to wander around museums or parks, especially when its 100 degrees outside, but when I found myself near one of the entrances to Retiro Park, I decided to check it off my to-do list. The park originally belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century, after which it became a public park. In addition to numerous sculptures and gardens, there's also a lake where you can rent rowboats, and the Palacio de Cristal, a glass building which houses temporary exhibitions. Alfonso XII Monument. The park is a popular place on the weekends, where people go to stroll through the park among the street performers, read a book in the shade, or have a drink at one of the outdoor cafes. Its also fairly close to the Prado Museum, if you want to check that off of your to-do list as well. Palacio de Cristal.
