Madrid - Retiro park

Madrid has a huge park east of the city center, kind of like the Auckland Domain but bigger, nicer, and more popular. It has tons of paved/dirt walkways, fountains, statues, buildings, and a lake. Very nice.

There's a modern art museum in the park too. Someone had put wooden blocks in various simple patterns. I don't understand modern art.

The Crystal palace there was neat too. Hard to see in the photo but it's all glass and you can see right through it.Read more
