Description

It is a tour in which the history of El Retiro is shown, it began as a palace of the court of Philip IV until it became a public park in the 20th century. It is the lung of the city, our 'central park', full of history, curiosities, anecdotes, legends, inescapable buildings and the magic that surrounds the park you can feel on this tour. It is true that people only know the pond and the boats, but in reality there are many secrets that the park keeps and if you want you can see them with me. Do you want to see the evolution it has had since its origins? Sign up and find out with me! We will start in the Paseo de Fernán Núñez seeing the enigmatic statue of the Fallen Angel, then we will see the remains of the old ceramic factory, old menagerie, statues, the great pond, mysterious gardens and we will finish in the beautiful Garden of the Parterre that hides the oldest tree in Madrid! As you can imagine, in Spain we have had during Habsburg or Austria's dynasty dominion around the world, therefore most important artists have been in Spain, to be more specifically, in Madrid because has been the capital of the Spanish Crown from 1561, it means from then on Tiziano, El Greco, Rubens, El Bosco, Velazquez, Goya, and others have painted for the Monarchs reflecting their eternal power. Carlos III laid the first stone to beautify it, do you put the desire and sign up for this tour?
