Parks Places Map
Parks in Spain:
Parque del Retiro
I suggest checking out the Crystal Palace; it's stunning, but it can get packed. Go on a weekday if you can. I made the mistake of visiting on a weekend, and it was hard to enjoy.
Ciutadella Park
Try to get to the park around 9 AM. You'll beat the crowd and enjoy a peaceful stroll before it gets busy. Plus, the morning light is perfect for photos!
Park Guell
If you want to save some money, bring your own snacks and drinks. The onsite café is pretty pricey for a quick bite.
Teide National Park
Grab your lunch from a local supermarket in nearby towns before heading in. Food in the park can be pricey, and you’ll want to enjoy a picnic with a view!
Park Europe
Oeste Park
Gulliver Park
Park Grande Jose Antonio Labordeta
Definitely check out the bandstand! I found it to be the perfect backdrop for a few pics. Just remember to snap also a few candid photos when no one's around.
Bring a picnic! There's plenty of space to chill and lots of shady spots. I ended up buying snacks from a nearby shop which was way pricier than I thought!
Don't miss the rose garden! It’s a hidden gem. I nearly walked past it, but it's well worth the time to stop and smell the roses!
El Capricho Park
I suggest visiting on weekdays, especially in the morning around 9 AM. It gets way busier on weekends and you'll enjoy it more without the crowds.
Orth's Labyrinth
I think you should download an offline map beforehand. Service can be spotty once you're in the labyrinth, and getting lost can be frustrating but also fun if you're prepared!
Don't forget to wear comfy shoes. The pathways can be tricky and uneven, which I learned the hard way after tripping a couple of times. But hey, it added to the adventure.
