El Retiro Park, Madrid – Keep Calm and Wander

El Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain, Alain, Kep Calm and Wander, El Retiro Park in Madrid is one place you can go when the summer heat is too much to bear. It’s a pleasant place to escape from all the academic shit I had last summer. The park has vast greenery and cool shades everywhere. But, I think the best way to explore the park is through a bicycle. Don’t make the mistake like I did – walked around for 5 hours (with rest intervals) under the searing heat. I slept that night with nasty burns on my shoulders and neck. Here are some things to do at El Retiro Park (aka Things I did at El Retiro) Walk and explore the gardens. This well-manicured garden below is the most interesting and photogenic one. Look at those trees! They’re instagram-perfect, right?
