"Esta es una Plaza"

"This community owned-and-operated urban garden is the only one of such size in the center of Madrid, and its all a result of the voluntary labour and love by the residents of Lavapiés. There are plots for planting vegetables and herbs, a tarp greenhouse, children's areas, a cactus garden, community boards, composting, and in the far end of the garden, sitting underneath the giant mural of an oso and madroño (Madrid's city symbol) under construction, is a small amphitheatre where gatherings can be held. Make sure to say hello to anyone inside, pet a dog or two, and maybe look for a community event to take part in while you're there. On the last Sunday of each month, they even have a If you live in Lavapiés, you can apply to be a key holder. So, you know that if the garden is open, someone is there, taking care of it, enjoying it, sharing it with you."

"The most beautiful and well-managed community garden I have ever encountered. This place is open to the public during the day, and a gorgeous place to have lunch or just relax."

"One of the coolest little park. If you fancy gardening just don't, they have already people doing it."
