Autumn walks

By the time the cool breezes of Autumn arrive, nature surprises us by colouring the landscape. From the leafy green of Spring and Summer, a palette goes from green to red, going through a thousand shades of yellow, ocher and browns. We want to highlight some of the most beautiful parks in Madrid to visit during Autumn.

The Hayedo de Montejo

The beech forest of Montejo is a woodland of 250 hectares located on the slopes of Sierra de Ayllón and belonging to Montejo de la Sierra district north of Madrid. We can find huge beech trees whose orange hues in autumn turn into one of the most beautiful groves in the region.

Prince of Anglona Gardes

It is a hidden palatial garden on one side of Plaza de la Paja, in the center of La Latina. The Garden is attached to the Prince of Anglona Palace, built in the XVIth century, completely restored in 1802. Garden and Palace get their names from one of its most illustrious inhabitants, Pedro de Alcántara Téllez-Girón and Pimentel, prince of Anglona and a member of Casa de Osuna.

Campo del Moor

As soon as you enter, you get mesmerized by a large avenue with a steep decline, caused by the rocky cliff existing between Royal Palace and the banks of Manzanares River. This avenue is called La Pradera de las Vistas del Sol and is decorated with water fountains of shells and of the newts.

El Capricho Park

El Capricho Park Madrid is an almost unknown jewel, where three different types of gardens coexist: the parterre, also known as the French-style garden, is fine and elegant, an area of neoclassical style that stands out for the use of geometric shapes. The English landscape covering most of the park which is markedly wilder and natural. The Italian giardino brings beauty through statues and fountains.
