Description of Curiosities and anecdotes of the Retiro Park
In the year 1630, the Count-Duke of Olivares gave King Felipe IV a series of land near the church of Los Jerónimos to create a new palace and a recreation area for the monarchy. Here begins the history of the Retiro Park.
The park has undergone many reforms and modifications by the Bourbon kings, until reaching its current state. The pond, the Crystal Palace, the carriage ride, the parterre or the fallen angel are some of the best-known spaces in the Retreat.
But did you know that the Retreat hides many mysteries and legends behind its best-known corners? Did you know that a tree announced the attack on Alfonso XIII on his wedding day? Did you know that there are several trees with magical significance in which rituals are performed? Did you know that a 17th-century treasure is hidden in the park? Did you know that the fallen angel rises 666 meters above sea level? Or why there is a goblin that walks through the park. You can discover all this and much with us during this very special visit.
We suggest you enjoy a walk through the Retiro Park to discover its legends, mysteries, curiosities and anecdotes.
