La Montaña Park

"In the hot evenings of the summer, everyone is at Parque de la Montaña for sunset, sharing snacks, drinks, and listening to the musicians that busk or practice together in the park. It's definitely more crowded than others, but the view over casa de campo and of the palace at dusk can't be beat. At any other time of day, it's a great park. It's perfect for walking, either with a dog, a friend, or getting in some fitness. You can easily run between it, the nearby Parque de Oeste, and other nearby green spaces like Madrid Rio or Jardines del Moro. If you're keen, you can also visit Templo de Debod, an egyptian monument built in 200 BC that was relocated to Madrid in the 1970's and rests in the centre of the park."
