Historic Park. It was the royal palace's gardens, which stood between the park itself and Paseo del Prado.

It's famous for the central lake, "El Estanque" and the Fallen Angel statue, the only one in Europe dedicated to the Devil.

It's great for running or just for a walk! I would remark El Palacio de Cristal, a woderful building made of glass. Also there are expositions. You have the chance to practise other sports too
