¡ Cuánta belleza nos ofrece el Parque del Retiro ! . Mis felicitaciones al equipo de Jardineros Municipales, por su trabajo lleno de sensibilidad y profesionalidad . Un resultado perfecto .
Ive been to this park. Coming from a tropical country it blew my mind. I wanna live in Madrid forever :(
What a beautiful well kept park. So spacious. There are mosaic walkways in wildlife area with roaming peacocks. The statues and architecture looks so grand. I understand the park belonged to the royal family up until 19th century. Also it is more than 300 acres. The royal connection explain the grandeur. Madrid city council deserves kudos for such clean litter free park. The impatient and begonia flowers are so well looked after. They must water the greenery and flowers regularly to keep them so nice. Tried to spot WW logos ,but failed. Thank you for letting us walk with you in lovely Madrid.
Thanks Pagla, it's probably hard to spot the logos as the beauty of the park is very distracting - it really is quite magnificent!
I just LOVE Madrid....so much to do...gorgeous city and people.
At last my adored Parque del Retiro. Simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Yes Matt, Retiro Park finally - it's also the last of my Madrid videos.
@@watchedwalker What a pity. Anyway, thanks for the nice series of videos on stunning Madrid
You’re welcome Matt, glad you enjoyed them :)
An impossibly beautiful park, green as far as the eye can see! Love it....
I love Retiro's Park!! I used to run every single sunset just there!!
Creo que estuve en Madrid Durante 1986-87.
Muchas veces visite esta parque. Muy cerca del puerta del Sol donde vivia.
Amo Madrid. Es mi Segunda madre tierra.
Muchos besos
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Spain still on my list I dream to visit Madrid
Paz y belleza en cada rincón. Imposible no enamorarse de una ciudad como Madrid.
Aranjuez has a couple of extremely beautiful parks and a small cascade in Tejo river. I loved it there.
Yes, just looked it up online, the area looks lovely!
I found this incredibly relaxing to watch, what a truly amazing park... totally beautiful, it feels like a dream!! 🤩 Love the way you capture these videos... so smooth... no chance of feeling seasick on the journey!! 😁
Thank you Suzy!
Great place for a run!
Thank you for this wonderful video from El Retiro I was born in Madrid and went to see it many times, now I live in Canada, you walked many miles to get this video thank you kindly.
I love this type of parks that you can be isolated from all the bustle of cars and the stressful pace, in the very center of the city, and this one in particular is very beautiful and romantic. As a curiosity of this park I think that inside it is the only monument to the devil of the world, 45:15 "the fallen angel".
interestingly, this site is 666 meters above sea level
@@angelpereira5278 falso: está a 655 metros
Vaya estupidez. Con la cantidad de cosas que hay por señalar.. y señalas eso.
No es falso, es cierto. Está a 666 metros sobre en nivel del mar desde Alicante.
Un vídeo maravilloso ; mostrando el Parque del Retiro, de una forma inmejorable . Una grabación perfecta . Enhorabuena .
Thank you very much Alfeno :)
Most beautiful park in Madrid 😎❤❤
True
@@rosadelmargomez140 I think that is most beautiful and big park in Madrid
Arguably the most beautiful city park in the world
Also “El Capricho” park is gorgeous but not very famous even for madrileños.
I live in Madrid and I just discovered some hidden places in the park.
It's so big I haven't ever had enough time to explore it in full.
I can appreciate that, it’s a huge park!
I live and born in Madrid here too. The park is beautiful, dont get me wrong , but in my opinion is not very big.
@@hellboy7424 Creo que es lo suficientemente grande... 1180000 m2 = 118 Ha (292 acres for US people)
me gustan tus videos muy buenos cuando los veo me siento en el lugar caminando enhorabuena
En Julio del 1957, cruzaba el lago en una barca, con imbitados. Iba bestido de paracaidista, de permiso a Murcia, mi tierra. Poco a poco fui paseando a mi famlia, empezando por la no nacida aún, repitiendo hasta la sexta. En medio, conociendo a mi señora, viví cuatro años. ¡maravilloso, ahora también!. Cuidado con el virus, por favor.
Beautiful video Than kyou very much Gracias Gracias from Sydney of Australia.
Thanks Rachid, appreciate your comments :)
Very nice place and wonderful video. I love this path you passed... its awesome. great place.
My goodness! Is this for real?
I think so!
Well done. Thank you. I'm planning to spend a couple of months in Spain this summer - if the coronavirus permits - and had planned to skip Madrid because of the heat. After seeing this I'll reconsider my agenda. 👍
I hope you can enjoy Madrid soon. In summer it's usually empty because the locals flee to the coast escaping from heat
Best months to visit Madrid, april, may, october, november, avoid july...
I am now il lockdown in Madrid, due to the corona virus. I am still here until the end of April, so I hope I still get to see the real thing! I any case I am glad with this now. Thank you very much!
You're welcome Marie-Anne, all the best and stay safe 🙏
I love the pretty rainbow @ 51:26 :-)
I loved so much this park!! Really relaxing and beautiful. One if the best places in Madrid. As always, I walk with you.. So nice! Thanks again Greetings. Renata
Thanks Renata!

Nice!
Guy with beard at 14:04. He is in most videos waling / lurking. Really like your videos from Madrid. Such a beautiful city.
Thank you, it's nice to hear you're enjoying my Madrid videos, it is a lovely city. As for the guy with the beard, I've never noticed him before - do you think he's following me? lol (he's actually a WW assistant). You seem very observant, have you managed to spot any of the WW logos in the videos?
@@watchedwalker No, but I will look. Thanks.
Saludos gracias por Compartir sus excelentes videos
Great video lovely scenery and I can see as usual you have an eye for the ladies Best wishes
Wonderful virtual walking tour and a nice mix of nature and urban of this beautiful city, thanks for sharing! It calms me down after a long workday! :)
Perfect .tenx for video
You can also check the oldest tree planted in the park, we call it "Pantalones", "Trousers" hahahaha.... it was planted in 1634. It´s located in "El Parterre"... 1:08:05, the big one in the right folowing the path of the trimmed myrtles...
I spent my childhood in this park, and plaza mayor, god i miss Madrid
Beautiful anda great Park in muy city. 😍😍😍
Amazing channel! I’m very glad I found you. Please do some videos on other continents if you ever go, like the US, Italy, Australia
Al fin. !
At least Parque del Retiro😍
Vamos mi Madrid
45:12 fun fact about that statue, its called ‘ el ángel caído ‘ ( translated would be ‘ the fallen angel ‘ ) and it was built at 666 meters above the sea level. not many cities have statues dedicated to the devil, and madrid has two of them (the other one is kinda hidden in a rooftop at Calle Mayor.
No tenía ni idea de la escultura de la calle Mayor. ¿Dónde está exactamente?
Acabo de leer sobre él y veo que no es un "Ángel caído" sino simplemente un ángel que se ha caído de cabeza. No es un demonio.
Perfect)
Oh, those halcyon days before Covid.
Wonderful video. I think in future videos you should include the Promenade of the Statues of Kings of Spain with the one of Queen Urraca de Castilla, first queen in Europe, 12th century, just in front of the big pond. Indispensable.
@Watched Walker Thanks for your ♥️. And that Promenade shows the statue of King Alfonso IX (Alphonse the ninth), creator of the first Parliament in the world and the first Constitution, 12th century. The English created their Parliament in 13th century and Constitution still to come. Spain has got the most remarkable History and is the most interesting country, that's why many people took much time, effort and trouble to create the fake black legend against it. Cheers.
Ancient park to Felipe IV.
Great video, have you been in Sevilla and San Sebastian?
Jorge, not yet, but they are on my list :)
😍
L. I. K. E.
⚽ ¡¡¡ MADRID !!!☃️⛄🌈⚽
Very nice video...can you reply plz at what time and date u hv taken this video shooting
Those details should be in the description :)
Thx
Come on Madrid 👏👏👏
👍
ما رح ترجع هضيك الأيام
🇪🇸
Can you fish here? Because you'd be hammered with fish at 12:23
Pero ke chulería Madrid Espai desde neuyor
Looks comparatively empty of people compared to London parks. A lovely neat park though.
Believe me it depends what time of the day or which day of the week.
This park can get absolutely jam packed .
I lived in London for a year and the parks at times were absolutely dead.
Madrid is a city lived on the streets like very few can match except between the middle of July and August as so many locals leave the city for cooler climes.
Because it’s summer. Most people escape because of extreme heat. The temperatures at day in July and August are between 35 and 40 celcius.
In summer, 50% of the population of Madrid goes to the beach. The mediterranean is 2,20h by bullet train :)
Anyway, you're weird if you like parks full of people.
It must be narrated or it’s almost worthless!
