Parque del Retiro

My advice is to bring a portable charger. You’re gonna want to snap tons of pictures, and trust me, your phone's battery will drain fast with all the amazing sights.

If you're into art don’t miss the park's sculptures. But be careful I got lost wandering and spent over an hour looking for the exit! A map in hand can save you some time.

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

Check out the lake area for some cute rowboat rentals. It’s a nice way to unwind but try to go before 3 PM when it gets really crowded!

Save some cash by bringing your own snacks and drinks! There are lovely spots to chill and it can be pricey at the kiosks inside the park.

If you're into people-watching, grab a bench near the playground or the fountain. Watching local kids play is super fun and gives you a taste of daily life in Barcelona.

don't miss the cascada monumental—it's stunning! i was blown away by the details. it’s great for a photo op, so take your time there
Park Guell

Don't miss the bus or metro ride there! Public transport is really cheap and efficient, plus it adds to the Barcelona experience without the hassle of parking.

Try to get there right when the park opens at 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds and have more space to enjoy the beautiful areas without too many people in your photos

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

Make sure to charge your camera! You don't want to miss capturing the stunning landscapes, and there are few places in the park where you'll get good light.

I recommend taking the cable car up to the summit. The views are unbelievable, and you save time climbing the trails. Just be sure to check the weather, as it can get foggy!

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

I suggest downloading a map of the park beforehand. It helped me figure out the best routes without wasting time wandering aimlessly.

Check out the themed gardens, especially the Dutch Garden. It's a hidden gem within the park, and I can't believe how tranquil it was!

Don't spend too much on food inside the park! Bring a picnic and enjoy dining at one of the many scenic spots. It saves cash and tastes better!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! You’ll be walking a lot, and trust me, your feet will thank you after a full day of exploring.
Oeste Park

Don’t skip the kiosks if you want ice cream or fresh juice! It’s a nice way to cool down, and prices are pretty reasonable compared to nearby cafes.

Pack a picnic! There are plenty of grassy spots to chill and enjoy some snacks. Food options in the park are a bit pricey, so save some cash by bringing what you like.

Check out the Rose Garden! It's a hidden gem within the park and so Instagram-worthy. I nearly missed it but was so glad I didn’t!

If you're into peace and quiet, try visiting around 9 AM. The early morning light is fantastic for photos, and there are way fewer people around – it's totally serene.
Gulliver Park

If you have kids, don’t forget to take some water bottles and snacks. We underestimated how much they would need during our visit, and the heat caught us off guard!

I suggest visiting early around 9 AM to beat the crowds—it's way more enjoyable without the hustle and bustle. You can get some great pics too!
Mondrago Natural Park
El Capricho Park

I think renting a bike might be a bit of a waste. The park is quite intimate and best explored walking. Plus, it helps to take in all the beautiful scenery!

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.
Park Grande Jose Antonio Labordeta
I recommend checking out the fountains. They’re super refreshing on a hot day! Just be careful, a little splashed water might catch you off guard!

There’s a small playground for kids near the entrance. If you have little ones, let them play for a bit while you relax on a bench.

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!
