Once a getaway for Spanish kings, it is now a park where the public can enjoy a boat ride on a large artificial pond, take a stroll in the Rosaleda (Rose Garden), or see an art exhibit at the Palacio de Cristal (Glass Palace). Is there a large park or green area in your community? Compare it with el Retiro. VALENTINA Juanjo, ¿vienes con nosotros?... Mamá... papá... Os presento a mis amigos.
