1、From Atocha it is not far to the Retiro, a huge landscaped park with lakes and pavilions.

2、For the Retiro he obtained more than a hundred paintings, including landscapes, allegories of the seasons and months of the year, hunting scenes and illustrations of Aesop's fables.

3、On the way back from the Retiro to my hotel, I bumped into a friend of a friend who was going to the Plaza Major, one of Madrid's best known squares, so I went along too.
