Casa de Campo

  Casa de Campo sits just west of Madrid's city center, easily recognizable as one of the largest urban parks in Spain, spanning over 1,722 acres. Originally created as a royal hunting ground in the early 16th century, this expansive green space offers visitors a chance to escape the city's hustle and bustle. With features like a large lake, various walking and cycling paths, and even a cable car, it serves as a vital recreational area for both locals and tourists. In the spring months, especially April and May, the park bursts into bloom with vibrant wildflowers and lush greenery. Visitors can explore a variety of wildlife, including over 100 species of birds, while enjoying picnics or leisurely strolls along the well-maintained trails.
