This was one of the best parts of the trip. It's a lake inside El Retiro Park that was originally used by the royalty to stage naval battles as a form of entertainment. It was opened to the public in 1868.

We were able to hop onto some rowboats and spend about an hour just drifting around the lake and its different statues. It was wonderfully relaxing.

On one side of the lake is this monument of Alfonso XII.

The Parque del Buen Retiro (Park of the Pleasant Retreat) is a large and popular, 140 hectare park in Madrid, Spain not far from the Prado Museum.

The park was originally the site of a royal palace built in 1632 under the reign King Philip IV. Most of the palace was destroyed during the Napoleonic Wars, leaving a space that was eventually opened to the public in 1868. The few remaining buildings of the palace now house museum collections.

The Palacio de Cristal is a glass pavilion inspired by The Crystal Palace in London and designed in 1887 by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco. Velázquez Bosco also designed the park's Palacio de Velázquez.
